Education Support
Knowledge is wealth. Many young people with intelligence, inspiration, and talent never have the opportunity to prepare for a career due to financial difficulties. School fees currently range from 16,000 INR (Nursery) to 100,000 INR (Engineering), which is equivalent to 145–910 euros depending on the school and grade level. For many families, this can be a heavy financial burden, so external support is important to help students stay in school.
In 2008, the Shirdi Sai Global Trust (SSGT) and its chairman Sri Kaleshwar founded an “Educational Sponsorship Program.” Through this initiative, several hundred students receive much-needed financial support during crucial phases of their education.
After reviewing thousands of applications, the most promising and financially disadvantaged children were selected for this support. This financial assistance ensures that the education costs of these students are covered during their most critical 11th and 12th grade years.
The total cost of the first phase of this program has exceeded USD 250,000 (1 crore) and is expected to triple in size over the next two years. The next goal is to support more than 1,000 additional students in the upcoming semester.

So for a person who really needs help, help them, but also try to make them develop themselves. Thats another concept. For example, many people I’ve seen are huge boozers, addicted, with unbelievably low inspiration. You really have to motivate them to make their inspiration come up. You really need to make the depressed people come up—Yes, you’ll do it. You can do it. Giving hope. Whoever really trusts you and comes to you, give them hope. Thats the real life you can give.
