    Changing Mindsets ...
    Setting new standards
    Today I am seen as a role model by the other girls
    in my village,who seek to pursue professional education.
    -Apoorva P Bhat
    Apoorva today is a role model in her village. She works in an MNC in Bangalore and supports her family in building a dream house. Parents of girl children ask her advise in sending their daughters to professional courses outside their village. This was not always the case. “ I decided to pursue engineering at Bangalore when the norm in my village was to send girls to nearby degree colleges or get them married. I wanted to show everybody that a girl can be a successful professional and also take care of family.”
    Vidyadhan scholarship enabled her to pursue that dream and gave her confidence about reaching her goal. The transition to a Bangalore engineering college was not easy given she studied in Kannada medium at school. “The training given by Vidyadhan helped me a lot to be a confident speaker and face interviews successfully”. Apoorva is also a talented Yakshagana artist who has performed across Karnataka.

What do we envision?

our dream

At Vidyadhan, our dream is to provide the youth with access to opportunity.
To allow them to contribute to and benefit from our country's economic progress. Higher education makes this dream a reality.

Today, India has a very low gross enrolment ratio (GER) in higher education of 27.1%. This is much below global averages.
Over the past 20 years, we have dedicated ourselves to alleviating the challenges which result in this low GER.
