Education has the power to change the individual and society as a whole, and this is ingrained in the ethos of VidyaGyan. Established on July 10, 2009, VidyaGyan is a residential school for children in grades 6-12. It was funded by the Shiv Nadar Foundation and offers 100% scholarships and sprawling facilities for eligible children from low-income rural families in Uttar Pradesh. With 15 years of its existence, the school has been instrumental in finding talented children and offering them a way for a brighter future. The school has always believed that transformation in education is the only way to transform society. VidyaGyan School has produced many extraordinary talents, and its alumni are placed in prestigious universities all around the world and are working in top MNC companies.
Students from VidyaGyan are taught not only in their personal development but also in giving back to society. One such alumnus of VidyaGyan is Mr. Sachin Agarwal, who is representing India on a global front in the Indian Trade Service. Mr. Sachin Agarwal has cleared the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which is one of the toughest exams in the world, with a 0.2% pass percentage to become an officer of the Indian Trade Service. Now, he is contributing to India’s growth through his work. His journey reflects VidyaGyan's mission to develop young leaders who would contribute to India's development.
The journey of alumni like Mr. Sachin Agarwal from the poorer section of India to be part of India’s elite administration service is a testament to the educational service offered in VidyaGyan. The school’s goal of enabling people to overcome socioeconomic disparities and build a more just, meritocratic society through top-notch education is becoming true with these alumni. Many students from VidyaGyan’s Rural Development Institute have already graduated with "stellar results", and their contribution to society is getting increasingly visible. These students are like seeds that are growing as a strong tree that supports itself and benefits the whole society through its fruits.
