WHY?

A Country’s growth depends upon the educational and personal development of our children following the rapidly changing world. This responsibility heavily relies on the shoulders of the educational institutions of the country.

 According to the 2011 Census, 17.2 percent of the population aged 5-19 have never been to school. As many as 84 million people in the age group of 5-17 years in the country are out of school, while another 44.9 million have dropped out of schools in the last decade. A need for holistic development is required for these ages groups to educate them and integrate them into mainstream society

We believe that every child, wherever he belongs, has a Right to Education. If the children can't reach the school, let the school reach the children. Our mission is to overcome disparities in the field of education so that every child gets an opportunity to read, to grow, and to succeed.

HOW DOES UPAY HELP?

The need of the hour is that we join hands and strive hard to provide these children with basic education and set a foundation stone for their successful lives ahead. In these tough times where education has taken an online route, let’s make sure that it sufficiently benefits the underprivileged- who need it the most.

The foundation to turn India into a strong nation has to be laid down at primary and rural levels and so the quality of education right from the beginning should be excellent. While it is not easy for the children to accept the changes needed to bring them into mainstream society, it is a bigger challenge for UPAY to encourage those changes without harming or alienating the children. 

The money raised through this campaign would be utilized to sponsor such a child’s education, ensure their good health, and help in their skill development. Some part of the funds will also be used to provide resources like books, and smartphone devices to children to enable learning amidst a pandemic.
