Who We Are

SIRDS India

A registered 80(g) NGO in Tirupati, India with the primary mission of benefiting the underprivileged through education, skill development, and community support programs.

SIRDS USA

A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the USA with the primary purpose of supporting the efforts of SIRDS India and making donations tax-deductible for US donors.

Our Mission

To create and facilitate better living standards for neglected, disadvantaged, and stigmatized segments of the population through Education, Skill Training, Scholarships, and Capacity Building—irrespective of gender, age, and caste—and contribute to sustainable development.

Our Key Programs

1. Aksharayagnam Study Centers

We operate over 50 study centers in and around Tirupati in underserved communities. These are low-resource, high-impact centers where teachers provide a safe place for local students to study and receive homework help.

Beyond academics, these centers serve as hubs of social support where we identify children needing nutritional assistance, single parents requiring seed funding for micro-businesses, and exceptional students who need scholarships.

Annual Budget per Center: ₹75,000 (~$925 USD)

2. Annual Student Scholarships

We support approximately 130 students annually through a rigorous selection process that ensures we're helping students who demonstrate both need and academic performance.

Our scholarships cover educational expenses, enabling students to continue their studies without financial burden on their families.

130+ Students Supported Annually

3. Student Scholarship Endowment

A one-time contribution that goes into an endowment fund, providing sustainable support for students throughout their entire academic career—from primary school through college.

This creates a lasting legacy that transforms lives for generations to come.
