The Isha Vidhya School in Sandegoundanpalayam, Coimbatore provides all the facilities like education, food, and transportation free of cost to the tribal children.
One of the tribal students said, “We come from poor economic backgrounds, and we would not have been educated without Isha’s help. Thanks to Sadhguru we are able to study.”
Sajitha, a student from Nallurpathi tribal village explained, “It is only because of Isha’s scholarship that I have continued my school and college studies. Apart from the scholarship, they train us for government exams like TNPSC, and SSC.
