How we are changing lives

The real power lies in Education

How do you nurture a dream? How do you empower children and women to realise their potential?

At VIDYA, we are committed to finding the answers to these questions – and we have found that the real power to change the world lies in education.

From a small begining in 1985 to today

Now in our fourth decade of operations, we at Vidya Integrated Development for Youth And Adults are committed to bringing about social change with the power of education, empowering youth and women from many states of the country to transform their lives and create the future they can now envision.

Making a difference for 40 years now

We have completed 40 years of making a difference in the lives of those who are less privileged. Our programs across India are designed to help beneficiaries become self-sufficient and productive members of society.

“Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world” — Nelson Mandela

As VIDYA celebrates 40 years of empowering lives, our mission remains steadfast: to transform each student into a leader of change by offering opportunities to learn, earn, and excel.
In this milestone year, our goal is to reach double the number of beneficiaries. Our top priority is the Discovery Hub—an international center of excellence in skill development that will equip disadvantaged students across India with 21st-century skills in AI, entrepreneurship, and leadership. This Hub will also foster creativity in the arts—music, dance, theater, and sports—offering scholarships and exceptional training to unlock students’ potential.

Empowering school children, women, and youth through education and employability – creating leaders for the future.

As a differently abled child with co-morbidities, Dhiraj’s life has been filled with challenges. He faced rejection and exclusion from formal educational institutions but found a new path with VIDYA NIOS. Here he found a supportive community, and a compassionate staff who understood his needs and tailored the education to suit him.

Munu and Anju lost their parents at a very young age. They moved to a migrant colony in Bangalore from their village in West Bengal with their uncle and joined the VIDYA NIOS program in 2021. At VIDYA Center of Excellence, they not only pursued their education but also got a chance to realise their dream of learning Karate through the Sanskriti program. The two have defied all odds and emerged as Karate Champions.
