In spite of the rapid progress made by India in many fronts, there is another India which we all are pretty familiar with. Another India where poverty is rampant, where higher education is a distant dream irrespective of how talented the student is. It is here where you, me and we can come together and make the difference. Allow the buds to blossom. Extend a level playing ground for all, so essential to sustain a democracy.
India has its history for values, ethics and a great culture. Majority of the people still believe in supporting each other and helping others.
The main motive of this website is to facilitate and bring people together, both Willing Sponsors and Deserving Students, to make a strong chain of responsible people to bring visible and positive difference in the country.
All sponsorers and students will be linked directly irrespective of caste, creed and geography. Details of the people will be published in Brilliant Brains website to inspire others. Sponsors can pay the fees directly to respective colleges and miscellaneous expenses to students.
It's like sowing an education seed. Sponsors will be the root of this plant and the sponsorees would be branches. Sow an education seed and give life to people who really deserve it. This program is to facilitate for Talented Poor students as per below definition.
TALENT- Any student who scores an average of 90% or more marks in both 10th class and Intermediate (+2) exams.
POOR - Family having an annual income less than Rs.72000/- or a net worth less than Rs 3 Lakhs.
TALENTED POOR - Combination of above.
-
After completing graduation and getting a job, every sponsored student must sponsor 2 more deserving students and should strengthen this chain through out the nation.
-
There is no legal binding on any student to sponsor 2 more students; however it is a moral responsibility of students to be committed in writing before sponsorship.
All students who got sponsorship must ensure to score an average of 85% marks in their academics to get continuous sponsorship. In some cases if the college highest score is less than 85%, the student should be in top 3 of the college.
* We have estimated that 4 years engineering graduation will cost a minimum of Rs 2Lakhs which is Rs. 50,000 per annum. College fees of Rs.30,000 per annum approx and other expenses of Rs.20,000 for food and accommodation. However, in some cases due to student's talent some institutes are waiving of college annual fees and in such cases sponsorers should take care of other expenses. These are estimated figures and actuals may vary depending on the course and location of the students.
I am grateful to my childhood friends Manda Chandra Sekhar and Potta Markandeya Murthy in SALUR, who took lot of initiative and effort in identifying the right students to give life to this thought.
I am thankful to my friends Tondapi Haranadh - Nellore and Repaka Ravikiran- Salur in Andhra Pradesh who encouraged my thought and extended their support instantly. Together we started this program in 2007 and sponsored 4 deserving students.
