What they need?

1. They need partial financial support for five students for their undergraduate programs. We collected the data after the field visit and verification. (I will send the requirement in next mail).

2. They are in need of teaching faculties. Already PTA is taking care of two teachers. Since the school is located far away from the city, 3 teachers got transfer from this school recently. If we deploy a teacher to take classes for 6th or 7^th std, they will use the government faculty for +2. They are ready to implement our Library project also.

3. They need 40 sitting stools for the students (in laboratory).Cost for this is 15,000 Rs.

Copy Rights – Indiasudar Careerpath Booklet (tamil)-Free distribution to all +2 students-Government schools-TN

It is a great pleasure to inform you that INDIASUDARapplies for copy rights for first time ever . This career path project is one of the important and necessary projects, required for the students society Right Now.

Initially we planned to provide a simple career path chart to the schools. But finally we arrived at a booklet.

Please find the sample pages of the career path booklet. Indiasudar will get the Copy Right within ten days.

About the Booklet:

Total no of pages: 16 (Including front and back cover)

Color: black and white except the cover pages.

Each booklet may cost Rs.4.We are trying to make it for Rs.3.50.

Purpose:

This booklet gives you the different kind of courses and opportunities. It won’t give the details about the colleges, fee details etc. But suggestions and guidelines are given to select the courses/colleges etc.If the students are in need of counseling, Indiasudar will provide the same (we have given address to contact).

In simple words, it is a kit box for the students. It will create the mass awareness at right time.

This will be given to all the +2 students studying in tamilnadu government schools. When it reaches one +2 student, it will be spread to the other class students and his/her family members.

How to achieve our goal?

We may approach SSA or any other government department /scheme to distribute this to all the government schools in tamilnadu.

If not possible, then we have to go for sponsors (Chennai silks/jewelers/ST courier/Wipro/Infosys foundation etc.). It can be district wise or state wise.

I guess there are more than 3 lac students are studying +2 in government schools.

How can you help?

If you know any government official/institutions/companies, you can approach them.

If you know /own Press, we can print the booklets if they offer decent discount.

Few Feedbacks:

1. The document has come out very well. It must help the students to get
   an overview. Once this is presented, if any of the students are
   interested in knowing further details, I’ll be more than happy to
   counsel through phone and email. – Veerabhadran ananthanarayanan,CA ,Infosys
2. A revolutionary result could be achieved by this excellent, innovative effort. Hats off! –K.shanmukavadivu.
3. The compilation is good and the SERVICE to the community especially for the students of Govt.high school is to be appreciated!!!-Dr.S.Raghavan ,Professor, Electronics and Communication Engineering Dept.,N.I.T.,Trichy,India.

Team behind this project:

We started this work six months back. But we were not able to finish the work in time due to other projects and commitments.

After compilation, we struggled a lot to get the final version. We tried in Karur, Salem, and Chennai. But they were not able to do our work at right time. Finally we are doing this design work at Sivakasi.

My sincere thanks to the members, well wishers for their co-operation and timely help.

Financial Support required- 1136/1200 marks engg cut off- 197.75 -TN

Dear all,

Our Action board member Mr.Gunasekaran identified three students from GHSS, Idayakottai, Karur Dt. We invited the students and gave them a treat in Karur (just to encourage the students).We had a discussion with the students, One of the student’s father and school teacher.

Though all the three students have scored very good marks, I verified the student Manivannan’s family background with the help of a well wisher. I am planning to visit their houses and the locality on this Saturday. After that I will give the request for the remaining two students.

Student Name: Mani vannan.T (Ph: 98652 49782)

Academic details: +2 Pass – School First – Marks Scored: 1136/1200.

Tamil – 187 English- 174 Maths- 200 Physics- 196 Chemistry-195 Biology-184

Engineering cutoff – 197.75 (MBC Quota & Confirmed seat in Government College)

Medical cut off- 189.75

School: Government Hr.Sec school, Idayakottai, Karur Dt.

(This place is a downtrodden area. Border for Dindugal and Karur Dt.)

His Future Aim is to become an IAS officer.

Family Background:

Father – affected by Paralysis (3 years back) – No income

Mother: 100 days employment scheme – Central Government’s National Rural Employment Guarantee (NREGS). – Salary cannot be fixed. Maximum amount Rs. 20,000 per year.

One brother – 10th std and one sister- 9th std. Both are studying in the same government school.

Staying in a rental house.

Please find the following interaction with Manivannan.

My question: You have scored 1136/1200. But your school pass percentage is 75% only. Then there could be a key person for your success. Who is that (school teacher/tuition teacher/well wisher)?

Manivannan: so many students and my friends took the T.C from this school after SSLC and then they joined in nearby private schools. My aim was to score more marks than them. I did not go for tuition. But I put lot of efforts to get this marks.

My Question: What is your aim?

Manivannan: I want to become an IAS officer. If I get sufficient money to do B.E, then I will work for some years and I will try for IAS.

My reply: Do not worry about the money. Since you will get government seat, we will plan for fund as follows;

a) Try to spend the initial amount required for this application, transport etc. ( one of his school teacher gave Rs.500 to purchase applications)

b) Indiasudar /partner orgs will support

c) We will apply for AICTE’s Scheme on Tuition Fee Waiver scheme for women, economically backward and physically handicapped meritorious students.

d) We will collect fund through other scholarships’ also.

e) Bank loan.

Students from engineering background are able to score more marks in IAS in recent years. As per the Civil service exams 2008 Results, 9 out of top 25 rank holders are from B.E qualification.

If he studies B.E (Chennai and Coimbatore based colleges), then it is easy to prepare for IAS.

I told him to go to Manithaneyam educational trust (IAS COACHING), Chennai to have a discussion. It may help him. If time permits I may go for engineering counselling along with him.

His college and other details will be finalised by July 6th. If you are able to donate even Rs.500 also, it will be helpful. Based on the response, I have to arrange the alternate solutions.

Please feel free to contact me @ 97391 75123.
