- So for a person who really needs help, help them, but also try to make them develop themselves. Thats another concept.
For example, many people I’ve seen are huge boozers, addicted, with unbelievably low inspiration. You really have to motivate them to make their inspiration come up. You really need to make the depressed people come up—Yes, you’ll do it. You can do it. Giving hope.
Whoever really trusts you and comes to you, give them hope. Thats the real life you can give. - Sri Kaleshwar
Educational Sponsorship Program
Knowledge is wealth. Many youth with the intelligence, inspiration and talent never get the opportunity to apply themselves due to financial difficulties. In 2008 SSGT and its chairman Sri Kaleshwar established an “Educational Sponsorship Program”. Through this scholastic endowment, several hundreds of students are provided economic assistance during critically needed periods of educational curriculum.
After reviewing thousands of applications, the most promising and most financially deprived children received this award. This financial award ensures that these students’ educational costs will be provided and fulfilled during their most critical 11th & 12th standard class years.
Total cost of the first phase of this program has exceeded $250,000 (1 crore), and will grow to three times the size within the next two years. The next target will be to sponsor over 1,000 additional students for the coming semester.
In a speech to the first batch of accepted sponsored students, Sri Kaleshwar had these words for them:
New Engineering College
- Giving donation for Sri Krishna Devaraya University
- Reviewing construction of the new engineering wing
In 2007 Sri Kaleshwar, the managing chairman of SSGT, pledged over $600,000 (2.5 crores) in total to be used for the construction of a new engeneering wing to the Sri Krishna Devaraya University in Anantapur. This generous donation would allow the college to expand its curriculum, and admit many additional poor students waiting for admission.
SSGT recognizes that the biggest waste of talent is if those students who want to learn cannot due to financial poverty. The future development of society’s members depends on the education of it’s children — without this critical link talent will be wasted. This program now gives the opportunity that talent & education can produce a sustainable positive result to both children and the future of society. At the inauguration ceremony for the completed building on July 22, 2008, this is what Sri Kaleshwar said:
“Looking at the youth working in bars, restaurants and petrol pumps, loosing their strength towards their education life, not only in our country but in all parts of the world; for that reason I (Sri Kaleshwar) donated for the construction of an Engineering college which will be helpful for the poor students who want to do engineering”.
