Charitable Society
Education is the Key to Liberation
Why We Exist
“Vidya Daan” — The Gift of Knowledge
Our sages termed “Vidya Daan” — the gift of knowledge — as an act of great virtue and goodness. To give a child the ability to read, to learn, and to think for themselves is the highest form of charity.
It is a pity that a good number of children in India cannot receive proper education for various reasons. The most important of these reasons is financial difficulty, despite the governmental efforts.
Gyanoday Charitable Society (GCS) has been established to facilitate the primary education of such children — children who are keen to educate themselves but lack the financial resources to pursue it.
What We Do
Education is the Key to Liberation
GCS disburses financial aid directly to deserving students for their educational expenses up to the secondary stage. Our supported students are located at various places across India — wherever there is a will to learn, we find a way.
The management of GCS is vested in dedicated individuals from different walks of life — defence, education and business — all united by one shared belief: that every child who wants to learn, should be able to.
Financial Aid
Direct disbursement of financial aid to deserving students for their educational expenses.
Up to 10th Class
Supporting students through primary and secondary education, up to the 10th class.
Pan-India Reach
Students supported from various places across India — wherever there is a need to learn.
80G Tax Exempt
All donations qualify for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.
