Avaada Foundation Sponsors IIT Coaching for Two Students

Avaada Foundation, the CSR arm of the Avaada Group, has recently announced sponsoring two students from the villages of Jayapur, Varanasi for IIT coaching. This initiative highlights their commitment to fostering educational opportunities and uplifting communities through targeted support.

“The two students, Vikas Prajapati and Divyakaran Patel, have both demonstrated remarkable dedication and academic excellence. Their achievements, despite challenging circumstances, stand as a testament to the potential that lies within India’s rural heartlands,” it noted.

While both of them qualified for IIT mains exams with commendable marks, they narrowly missed out on Advance exam cut-off.  

“Vikas has secured admission to his desired stream of Mathematics and Accounting at Rajiv Gandhi Technical Institute, Amethi – a government college. His journey from Jayapur to a prestigious government institute is a story of resilience, made possible through the support of Avaada Foundation,” said the company in a statement.

With Avaada Foundation’s support, Divyakaran has earned a full tuition and hostel fee waiver at Ishaan College of Engineering, Mathura. “Divyakaran's journey continues as he awaits the final counselling results for admission to a government college to pursue B.Tech., with a 99 percent chance of selection. His parents, whose annual income is INR 48,000, are overjoyed at this opportunity for their son,” noted the statement.

Both students come from the OBC community, highlighting the importance of accessible education in bridging socio-economic gaps. “We are incredibly proud of Vikas and Divyakaran’s achievements. These milestones mark the beginning of a promising journey for both of them, and we are honoured to play a part in their success. Their stories reflect our shared commitment to nurturing talent and making a meaningful difference in our communities,” said Ritu Patwari of Avaada Foundation.

She further asserted that Avaada Foundation remains committed to supporting and inspiring more students in their quest for academic excellence, reinforcing the mission to drive positive change in society through education.
