Our Story,
Our Mission
Who we are
Founded by Smt S Susheela and Shri M Nagaraj, Vidyanikethan began in 1988 with the objective to improve the lives and livelihoods of individuals and families, especially children and women, from low income groups and from the vulnerable, marginalized and under-developed sections of the society.
What we do
Prior to Vidyanikethan, the NGO, the founders of Vidyanikethan had actually started Sri Vidyanikethan School. It was a natural decision to start the school because the founders were themselves qualified and experienced teachers.
Our Partners
Vidyanikethan has enjoyed the support of several Government Departments, international and national NGOs, Indian and multinational companies and individuals. While some of our supporters have aided us on a one time basis, others are continuing to offer regular support.
