3. Knowledge is the beacon light of our lives. In its absence our life is an area of total darkness. knowledge is an asset of every individual endowed with intellect. But ironically, today, even an individual with intellect cannot afford to have proper education. The reason for this is monetary, handicap, money has become a wall between a student and education. Starting right from primary school right up to highest levels, there is need for money at every stage. The dreams of a poor student who aspires to become a doctor or an Engineer are withering away. That too, the present situation of poor Brahmin students is highly miserable.

4. Facts of Education The cost of primary and higher education has gone up by 300% in last 10 years. The poor Brahmin student is caught in the vicious cycle of : Simple life  Needs food  Needs money  Needs proper employment  Needs Education? This again needs money According to applications received in 2009, 53% of the applicants come from families with monthly income of Rs.3,000 and below.
