Educate The Poor, Eradicate poverty

About Us


Higher education is not luxury, it is economic imperative that every family in India should be able to afford. Alas, not all families in India can afford this even if they have gifted children.
HELP (Higher Education Learning for Poor) was formed to address this issue by providing financial aid for higher education to the poor and underprivileged. HELP is a non-profit, non-government organization duly registered as a society under the Haryana Registration & Regulation of Society's Act of 2012.
Registration No.: HR001201400355
Dated: 20th March 2014
It was founded and registered in 2014 by a group of mostly retired professionals to make a difference in the lives of poor by providing higher education to their meritorious children.

HELP decided to work closely with Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas as their children come mainly from poor families who cannot afford higher education after completing schooling.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas were started in the year 1985 and today there are around 600 schools across the country. They are fully residential, co-educational schools run by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Govt. of India. Boarding and lodging is free in these schools. Admission to these schools is by a selection test ensuring that only meritorious students get admission. Emphasis is on children from rural as well as economically weaker sections of the society. Studies in these schools are from Class VIth to Class XIIth.

Unfortunately, after schooling, many of these children are often unable to continue higher studies on account of financial constraints.

Besides students from JNV(Jawaharlal Navodaya Vidyalayas), HELP is also open to offering financial aid to meritorious children from other schools as well.

Vision

HELP aspires to reach out to poor and deserving students from Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, in the next 3 years.
Then in 10 years from now, we intend to be a NGO spread across the length and the breadth of the country.
We would like to be known as one of the leading NGOs in the field of higher education.
