College Vidya, an online education platform, has disbursed ₹1.2 crore in financial aid in 2024, benefitting 5,751 students nationwide to support learners facing financial challenges, enabling them to pursue their academic aspirations without compromise.
Statewise, Uttar Pradesh led the way, with 807 students receiving aid amounting to ₹12.1 lakh. It was followed by Delhi and Maharashtra, with 769 and 621 students benefiting from ₹12.2 lakh and ₹11.3 lakh, respectively.
Speaking about the impact of the initiative, Rohit Gupta, COO of College Vidya said, “Reports suggest that more than 70% of students cite financial constraints as the primary reason for discontinuing their education. At College Vidya, we believe that money shouldn’t become a barrier for students willing to acquire quality education. By providing the necessary financial support, we aspire not only to empower individual students but also to set an example for other institutions, urging them to join us in creating a more equitable and inclusive education system. We are committed to scaling this initiative to INR 5 Crore in 2025, ensuring that even more students have the opportunity to fulfill their academic dreams.”
