The process of education, the preparation for life, the development of individuals' capacity to be productive members of society is the very essence of a strong nation building mechanism. The civil society depends on educating  people to become responsible, thoughtful and enterprising citizens. Not that our ruling class is unaware of these facts. They know it too well. And more than half of India's vibrant population remains illiterate even after sixty diamond years of independence. Added to this, our schools and colleges are ill equipped, under-staffed and the standards of education are south bound.

Dhrithi Foundation is a group of volunteers [See Trustees] who are interested in supporting the cause of education in a small way as is possible within their capabilities in a small city called Mangalore in south west India.

The Objects of Dhrithi Foundation are: (More Information here)

  1. To promote scientific temper among our people

  2. To identify and help students from poor and weaker sections of the society to pursue higher education

  3. To enable the student community to know and to act upon the issues concerning education and career

  4. To provide support to improve the facilities in educational institutions

  5. To support the teaching fraternity in improving their skills and efficiency

  6. To spread among the general public such knowledge and information that would enable them to know their rights and to help them stand up and ask questions

  7. To assist the administration or such other agencies in issues regarding public health, education or other issues in the interests of the public at large

  8. To educate the general public and students in particular, on various aspects of health and hygiene
