The philosophy of Sahyog Pratishthan and its founders is the development of the Nation and emphasis on the education at its core. Although Sahyog Pratishthan takes pride in contributing to the society in different ways, it believes that only education can truly empower the youth, which in turn will empower the nation.
Sahyog Pratishthan started educating youth with skills based education in the field of Hotel Management, Tourism and Information Technology. Education must not be meagre accumulation of degrees and certificates but it must contribute to one self’s growth intellectually and it must equip oneself to take on the challenges and opportunities coming her/ his way. Looking at the current trend of the world, pioneers of Sahyog Pratishthan started courses in above mentioned fields.
Hospitality, Tourism and IT provide students with an opportunity to be employable and self-employable. Their skills are required worldwide and are not limited domestically. Students can perform and achieve accolades globally.
It is observed that, although, this kind of education is worldwide in demand, it is also expensive for an economically weaker student to pursue. Sahyog Pratishthan believes that any deserving student must not be turned away only because of her/ his socio-economic background. In pursuit of such students’ dreams, Sahyog provides a helping hand in many ways.
At Sahyog Pratishthan, all the departments follow certain basic guidelines regarding student education expenses. All the courses listed, come under the UNAIDED section of the Universities, which means the institutes does not receive any funding from the University whatsoever. In addition to this, these courses are highly material intensive, incurring lot of expenses. Yet, Sahyog Pratishthan provides the lowest fees possible in the given demography. These funds or expenses which are Unaffordable to students are born by Sahyog Pratishthan as a charity and duty towards educating students from all strata of the society.
Even though Sahyog College under Sahyog Pratisthan charges break even fees, at times, if any student comes up with financial issues or any unavoidable circumstances, according to the Trust’s values and objectives, a certain amount of discount is provided with basic documentation. In financial language, a discount is not only in terms of monetary aspect but also in form of the duration. When students are not able to complete the fees in time, Trust provides such students with maximum number of installments thereby providing a kind of a loan without charging any interest or late fees etc. The idea behind this charitable act is to make sure that the student attains the degree or a certificate or a diploma which can eventually help her/ him secure a safe and guaranteed source of income thereby providing a good lifestyle to her/ his family. Sahyog Pratishthan believes in honesty towards its duty in building the nation by helping the deserving youth who needs that help.
During devastating COVID 19 Pandemic, where all the institutions were finding it difficult to find the ways of survival, so was the education segment of Sahyog Pratishthan. Yet, we did not step back from our commitment towards our students and their parents. We continued with our discounts, provided lump sum discounts and passed on the benefit of pandemic situation to the students, unasked. For certain, the Trust even provided 15-20% lower fees. By doing this, we saved the crucial years of the students which would have been wasted otherwise, and now that the world seems to be coming back on track, these students can grab the opportunities surfacing once again.
In this path of goodwill and nation building, Sahyog Pratishthan alone may not be able to help plenty although we are committed to continue and reach beyond our limits. Hence, we ask for your seeds of contribution, so we can go strength to strength and make more and more youth skillful, employable and entrepreneurship ready. Your contributions can help us sponsor more students to hone the skills needed in today’s world. Your small contributions can create an opportunity for socio-economically underprivileged students to explore this path of bright future. Your contributions can help us in fulfilling the demand of our nation of the skilled youth. Your contribution can provide a global platform for our students to launch themselves into. Education and that too skills-based education will only make our society self-reliant. So, Sahyog Pratishthan needs your valuable contribution to continue with the same.
All your contributions will be under 80G section giving you all the necessary tax benefits. But the joy in contributing towards empowering one life is much more than that.
Together, let’s make this generation our future heroes. Your ‘SAHYOG’ (cooperation) is much anticipated.
