Why Shiksha Dangal exists
Talent should decide a future. Not a family's income.
Many students from farming and daily-wage households want to pursue technical, health-related or management courses after Class 10 or 12. College tuition and living costs can make that goal difficult to sustain.
Launched in January 2026, Shiksha Dangal uses a competitive learning assessment, educational need and follow-up scholarship review to help young people move from aspiration to enrolment.
Our foundation reports enrolling 15 learners in the first supported cohort at Indo Global Group of Colleges in New Chandigarh, with full tuition support and 50% of applicable hostel charges funded for the first semester. Our annual ambition is to support up to 25 students, subject to resources and eligibility.
The second semester is not a new beginning. It is the opportunity to keep a hard-won beginning alive.

Questions donors ask
Clarity makes generosity easier.
For fee records, compliance documentation and institutional contributions, contact the Indian foundation directly.
Email our team ↗What exactly will my donation support?
The second-semester tuition requirements and the foundation's agreed share of hostel costs for 15 students, as supported by actual institution invoices. Ask for a written restriction or reporting arrangement for a large designated gift.
Can I sponsor only one month of hostel costs?
Yes, you may donate an amount of your choosing toward the scholarship appeal. The approximate foundation-funded hostel share is ₹2,500 per student-month based on reported fees; final bills vary. Giving page links do not automatically preselect or reserve a sponsorship amount.
Can my CSR team verify the students and fees?
On request, the foundation can arrange a documentary review of available enrolment records, redacted student details and college invoices, subject to students' consent and privacy safeguards. A supervised call may be explored with the college where practical.
Is this college the same as Chandigarh University?
No. The foundation reports the 15-student cohort at Indo Global Group of Colleges in the New Chandigarh/Mohali area. The college name and student enrolments should be verified against current admission records.
Will an Indian donation qualify for Section 80G?
Qualifying donations made to the eligible Indian recipient may be deductible under Section 80G, subject to current approval, prescribed requirements and the donor's tax circumstances. Direct transfers to individual students do not automatically qualify for 80G.
How do international donors contribute?
Use the Give Internationally link or, if eligible, the CAF America giving route. Confirm the displayed legal recipient, supported payment method and any applicable tax treatment before completion. The US and Indian foundations are separate legal entities.
Does clicking Donate complete the payment?
No. It opens the foundation's giving page, where the donor can review the recipient, choose an amount and complete the provider's checkout process. No payment is initiated by this page alone.
