Sri Guru Raghavendra Vidyaniketan, a school run by our organization, was started in 2001 by H. S. Sheshagiri with a vision to provide free quality education for rural children in the surrounding villages of Lakkasandra, Bangalore Rural, INDIA – where we operate. Our organization tries to address issues on child labor and we stress on girls’ education, as these two issues are dominant in these villages. Around 95% of the parents of our children live in poverty most of their annual income doesn't exceed Rs. 20,000/- or US$500/-) and depend on daily wage labour jobs. We conduct councelling programs in all villages we cover in our project area by creating campaigns in these villages to convey the importance of health and education to villagers. This consistent effort has reduced the school drop-out ratio.
The mission of Sri Guru Raghavendra Charitable Trust(SGRCT) - a non profitable organization is to provide quality education 'at no cost' to rural talent and nurture them to get into mainstream and help the rural poor people, irrespective of caste, creed, community and religion, to live above poverty line.
In the age of deteriorating values, principles and human culture in the society - our prime focus is and would be to inculcate these values at an early stage among children who would be tomorrow's society. Poverty, illiteracy and ignorance should not be a blockade for the progress of the rural poor people.
