Back to School Surprise for 250+ underprivileged kids of Uttar Pradesh

Since 2012, we at Gurukul, a non-profit endeavor founded by Pooja Mishra - an IIM Calcutta alumus, have been providing quality and subsidized education to the most vulnerable yet bright children of the rural Uttar Pradesh. We believe that foundational education from Pre-Primary to Primary is most critical in a child’s holistic development. At Gurukul, we have the basic infrastructure in place for these little ones but we aspire to take our Primary Section to a whole new level. With Dan Utsav Fundraiser, our aspiration is to upgrade five of our classrooms, costing INR 3 Lakh (~4,000 USD) per classroom and a total of INR 15 Lakh (~20,000 USD). Your contribution will help these 250+ kids and more in future who will study in these classrooms.

For every rupee you donate, we get Rs 1.20 from Give India – Applies only till 8th Oct. So, hurry up and pick up your cards and help us in creating the world a more fair and better place for everyone!

Funds will be utilized to:

Upgrade classroom interiors including flooring and paints to create a more stimulating and engaging atmosphere
Upgrade furniture to modern style of group sittings enabling group activities and communication
Addition of activity boards, mats, toys, reading material, activity centers etc.
Adding audio-visual equipment to make learning more interactive

Our Vision

Our Vision at Gurukul is to provide a holistic and world-class education to the most underserved strata of our society to develop them into confident, compassionate and responsible citizens of tomorrow and create the India we aspire for. We wish to reach 5,000+ children by 2030.

Our Purpose

Gurukul was founded by Pooja Mishra, an IIM Calcutta alumnus, in 2012 to bridge the gap in rural education. She really felt for the cause and put together a team which since then has worked tirelessly.

Our Model

Gurukul is located in Purasi village of Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh and managed by the trust “Ram Dutt Seva Sansthan”. Gurukul Public School is a charitable school which provides highly subsidized education to rural children through one to one sponsorship by socially conscious individuals across the world. Our model not only makes quality education accessible but also gives an opportunity to the mentors to connect back and see tangible results.
