The Society aims at increasing the literacy rate of the community and improving the standard and effectiveness of its educational institutions, and so, works:
- To help students with learning difficulties pursue their education by providing them with free tuition.
- To help deserving students pursue their education by providing them with financial aid and scholarships.
- To identify talented students in near bye schools and encourage them through various award ceremonies and helps them build confidence by making them compete with the best students in the country.
- To maintain the infrastructureof educational and civic institutes in needy areas.
The Executive Committee defines a deserving student as one who is unable to study because of:
- Lack of teacher(s).
- Medical reasons.
- Financial reasons.
Or any other difficulty or hindrance that is considered just by the Executive Committee.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
