Sri Venkateshwara Educational Trust runs a school, a pre-university college and a skill centre in one of Karnataka's most backward taluks. We are looking for CSR funders, donors and institutions to help us grow it.
Choose the description that fits you to see how a partnership with the Trust would work.
Fund education where it counts under Schedule VII
Back classrooms, labs, scholarships and skilling in Pavagada. Education is a core CSR category, and the Trust is 80G and 12A certified.
Fund or run programmes with an established local base
Grant-making NGOs and foundations can fund programmes. Implementing NGOs can co-deliver skilling and education work on our campus.
Give once, or put your name on something lasting
From sponsoring a child for a year to naming a building. Gifts qualify for 80G benefits, subject to the law that applies to you.
A running K-10 school you can lease, buy or operate
A 1.34-acre campus with 500+ students, a 20-year name and room to grow. Take it on from day one rather than building from scratch.
Pavagada is listed in the Nanjundappa Committee Report as one of Karnataka's most backward and drought-prone taluks. Most government schools here teach in Kannada and are under-resourced. Families who want an English-medium education for their children usually have to move away.
H.V. Kumaraswamy founded the Trust in 2005 so they would not have to. Today, one campus takes a child from LKG through Class 10, on to pre-university, and into training for work.
A child can start in our school, continue in our college, and a parent or older sibling can train at our skill centre.
English-medium schooling from LKG to Class 10 on the Karnataka State Board syllabus, in a co-educational setting with a purpose-built three-storey academic block.
Science, Commerce and Arts streams that let students stay in their own community through to university entrance, instead of leaving at 16.
Practical training for women and youth outside formal education, aimed at jobs, small businesses and financial independence.
Since 2005, at least 25% of seats across every institution have been kept free for families who cannot pay. It is not a government mandate. It is how the Trust was founded, and it is the first thing a partner's money protects.
Each can be shaped around your goals and timeline. We are glad to talk through any of them in confidence.
Give through CSR or personal philanthropy without taking on an operating role. You receive 80G benefits, formal recognition, naming opportunities and reported impact.
CSR and givingRun the school while the campus is leased from the Trust. You get operational control, a ready student base and a structured arrangement with a measured commitment.
Lease detailsTake full ownership of the institution, its infrastructure, its reputation and its mission, and carry the work forward under your name.
Acquisition detailsAssemblies, awards, sport and the green walkways between classes.
“Quality education is not a privilege of geography. Every child in Pavagada deserves the same opportunities as any child in Bengaluru.”H.V. Kumaraswamy, Founder
The best way to judge a partnership is to visit. Meet the students and faculty, walk the campus, and tell us what you have in mind.
