With a view to provide financial support to meritorious but financially weak students of Udupi district, Vidyaposhak wing was established in 2005. Those students belonging to poor families who have studied in Kannada medium and have secured 80% and above marks in SSLC are eligible for the support. Vidyaposhak volunteers visit the houses of the applicant students, verify the veracity of their claims, ascertain financial resources and needs of the students, assess their financial requirements of the students and recommend the names of eligible students for scholarships.

This year 2022-23 we have received 1,200 applications and our volunteers have submitted their recommendations based on predetermined criteria after visiting applicants’ homes. Under the sponsorship of Selco Solar Company solar lightings have been provided to 130 Vidyaposhak students. During 2021-22 scholarships have been distributed to more than 1135 students totaling Rs. 89,85,500/-. During last 17 years Vidyaposhak has distributed scholarships amounting to Rs. 7,74,24,372.00 to 4,153 students. New houses have been built to 34 students who were found living in thatch roofed, single room houses with no sanitary facilities, at the cost of around Rs. 5 lakh each, thanks to the support of selfless donors.
