We stand for 'Empowerment through learning'

JYOTHI believes that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to be self-empowered- to make the best out of their life and be able to make a significant contribution to the world that we all share. And in order to achieve this, we place our trust on a continuous and holistic process of learning… learning that begins in a classroom and also extends beyond

		"My Mentor counsels for my current studies and studies after 12th".

JYOTHI is the Sanskrit word for ‘Light’. JYOTHI is currently supporting deserving students at the higher secondary and college level by providing financial aid for their schooling as one small step towards their empowerment. But since learning is not confined to schools and colleges, we also counsel them to help identify their strengths, interests and potentials. This way, as they move ahead, they can focus their energies and resources with a renewed level of confidence towards a way of life that is more than a day to day struggle for existence.

		"My Mentor is a good guide in my life".

Our beloved friend and founder, Raghavendra C. Tawker, always looked up to this quote by J.F.Carney -
'Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the beauteous land'
