Sponsor college fee for youth living in remote villages with INR 35000 per year

Program Description

Shanthimalai Trust provides education to needy students who live in remote villages of Tamilnadu.

The students belong to underprivileged backgrounds are living in remote villages. These villages are sometimes very far from the institute and beyond forest areas. They walk through forests just to reach the bus stop and then have to travel over 50 km by bus to reach college.

Through our Skill Development Program (SSDP), we have helped more than 4000 village students pursue their higher education in various fields like Polytechnic, ITI, special education, paramedical, Medicine, Science, Arts, Commerce, etc..

SSDP also offer them placement services and soft skills training in English, computer & general knowledge every Sunday. These skills increase the chances our graduates will compete successfully in today’s tough job markets.
