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:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Casting an eye on the education of children, from whence I can make a judgment of my own, I observe they are instructed in religious matters before they can reason about them, and consequently that all such instruction is nothing else but filling the tender mind of a child with prejudices.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
