Vedanta’s education interventions in the region are executed in a two-pronged approach.
The first intervention offers financial assistance to meritorious students in the periphery through the Vedanta-DAV Academic Support Programme. The second provides remedial classes to high school students under the Vedanta Vidyarthi Vikash Yojana. The company also runs Vedanta Computer Literacy Programme helping students learn 21st-century skills and bridge the digital divide.
In partnership with DAV Public School, Jharsuguda, the Academic Support Programme aims at giving children from peripheral villages access to quality education in a premiere institution. Till date, the programme has benefited over 200 children, making them the first generation in their families to avail education in an English medium school. It started with two students, who successfully graduated matriculation in 2018-2019. This year, 22 children emerged meritorious, securing their place among the nation’s best emerging talents.
The Vidyarthi Vikas Yojana aims to improve quality of education in secondary school. Students are provided with supplementary and remedial tutorial assistance for greater proficiency in critical subjects like Math, Science and English through innovative teaching methods. Seven study centres are operational under the project running in Government high schools. Till date, over 4,600 students have enrolled in the project.
