Abarna Wants To Be A Dietician!
By Venkat Ramakrishnan | Project Leader

Abarna-17-11-2020
Abarna, daughter of a farmer, joined Isha Vidhya
in grade 5. She was the school topper in grade 10
public examinations. This enthusiastic student is
coping well during the lockdown and hardly
misses school, because online classes are a worthy
substitute for her.
Abarna shares, “It’s not hard to understand and
recall new concepts and lessons. My teachers make
learning so easy even though we learn from home.
The online classes will have no impact on my
exams. I hope to do well in my final exams.
After grade 12, I want to study to become a
dietitian.”
We wish Abarna the very best for clearing her
grade 12 public examinations in flying colours!
Students like Abarna are an inspiration for all of
us to continue studies in spite of the lockdown.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Lighting the lamp called Life: Ilakiya's sharing
By Venkat Ramakrishnan | Project Leader

Ilakiya
Shares Ilakiya in 12th grade:
“Namaskaram all
I am Ilakiya of grade 12.
I study at Isha Vidhya since 2007. Before
joining Isha Vidhya, I had dreamt about
studying in an English medium school
My parents work on daily wages. Their
income was not enough to remit my
educational expenses in a private school.
Luckily my family came to know about the
scholarship provided by Isha Vidhya in
educating rural children. I got admission,
and I am continuing my higher secondary
with courage and confidence. In our school,
activity-based education is encouraged.
Learning by doing makes me more
comprehensive and initiates learning all
subjects. I commute to school by bicycle
which keeps me physically fit. I like sports,
and my school encourages sports. Every
year, we get chances to compete with other
schools. I wholeheartedly thank the supporting
hearts behind my education. My aim is to
become a doctor and I am putting all my efforts
on studies. Thank you.”
With all your help, lives of several students
of Ilakiya are made through quality education
at Isha Vidhya. If you would like to be continually
engaged with Isha Vidhya’s work, you can
consider starting a monthly recurring donation
for a small amount at:

We thank you for all you have done for
Isha Vidhya, and we look forward for your
continued support!
Thanks & Best Regards,

A Mother's Ambition For Her Daughter's Future
By Venkat Ramakrishnan | Project Leader
![Durga and her mother]()
Durga and her mother
Durga is a 11th grade student in
Cuddalore Isha Vidhya school.
Durga's mother Rajalakshmi runs
a small grocery store in their
village in the state of Tamil Nadu,
India.
“Since the lockdown, I earn little
or nothing. Customers have not
been able to earn money and are
unable to spend any. I am finding
it difficult to make ends meet –
we are even falling short of food
for the children. But I want Durga
to study well, so I let her use my
smartphone for her online lessons.
It makes me so happy to see my
child learning so many things.
Durga should study well and
become a doctor one day, this is
my dream for her”, says Rajalakshmi,
with an empty wallet but a heart
full of ambition for her daughter.
Parents like Rajalakshmi have great
hopes and ambitions for their children.
If you would like to be continually
involved in supporting the education
of rural children like Durga, you can
start a monthly recurring donation for
a small amount, which will make a
huge difference in offering education
for them. The link to start a recurring
donation is:

Isha Vidhya, and we look forward for
your continued support!
