Shiv Nadar Foundation to sign MoU with UP government

Shiv Nadar Foundation to sign MoU with Uttar Pradesh government to spot talent among economically deprived rural students. 

The Shiv Nadar Foundation which has pumped in about Rs 500 crore for establishing world class schools called Vidya Gyan for poor rural children, would be signing an Memorandum of Understanding with the Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday.

The Mou would help Vidya Gyan schools to conduct entrance tests across all government run schools in rural Uttar Pradesh to spot talent, who would then be provided free education from class 6 to 12 at par with the best private schools in the country.

" Our aim is to provide world class education to the underprivileged kids in rural India. We have made a start from Uttar Pradesh and established two residential Vidya Gyan schools spread over 35 odd acres in Bulandshahar and Sitapur. The children are given free education which means that boarding, lodging, nutritional diet, books, stationary, school uniform and fees all are taken care of by the school" said former Cabinet Secretary of the country TSR Subramanianwho is now the Trustee of Shiva Nadar Foundation and Chairman, Vidya Gyan Management Board.

He said that the Vidya Gyan schools after an elaborate screening exercise and tests at the district level select 10 bright students who have cleared class 5 from each district of the state. They are then given residential education in the two Vidya Gyan schools at Bulandshahar and Sitapur from Class 6 onwards.

" We have the best of faculty and infrastructure. The environment helps these children hone their talent and within a short span of time the transformation in them can be observed. We groom them to be able to compete with the best in the country and abroad. Parents are also happy to send their kids to us as they see the change that the child goes through after entering Vidya Gyan. After Class 12 we provide special coaching classes also for the children to clear competitive exams" said Subramanian.

Part of HCL Technologies founder Shiva Nadar's philanthropic initiative, Vidya Gyan is aimed at transforming the lives of meritorious but poor students from rural parts of the state. Multi billionaire Shiv Nadar has pledged 20 per cent of his personal wealth for philanthropic work and has set up the Vidya Gyan schools and the Rs 1,000 crore Shiv Nadar University in Greater Noida.
