Large no of children in our society cannot even afford basic education. Gursikh Education aims that every child should be in school and get quality education. Under this scheme needy students are sponsored for their basic education i.e. up to class 12th. At present GES is funding the basic education of about 300 needy children studying in various schools of Dehradun and nearby areas. Many more applications are pending in need of funds.
 

Children are supported by individual sponsors and generous donors. We also rely on general donations to provide additional facilities like books stationary, school uniform ,tuition fees , transportation , etc .
​

So please join hands with GES to give these children their basic right to education
