The handloom weavers are amongst the poorest in our country and ShikshaDaan would like to support this community by helping their children get educated. The “Weave a colorful future” scholarship has been launched exclusively for the handloom weavers’ children.

For the academic year 2016-17 we had chosen 12 students from the weaving clusters at Dindigul and Chinalampatti in TamilNadu. These students are studying to become textile technologists, teachers, engineers, accountants etc to earn well and hopefully continue their family’s craft of weaving.

In the AY 2017-18, we continue to support 10 of the original batch of 12 students as one of them has completed her program and one student did not clear his exams and so became ineligible for a scholarship. We added three new students to the batch so now for the AY 2017-18, we are supporting 13 students under the “Weave a colorful future” scholarship.

Please come forward to support these students in their efforts. Donate now. Mentor now. Help them weave a colorful future.
