About Vidya Vaaridhi : Empowering people towards holistic, sustainable, and fulfilling growth.

'Vidya Vaaridhi'  literally means 'the ocean of learning'. It is also the name of Ganesha, the god who represents of intelligence, creativity, harmony, and problem solving.

Vidya Vaaridhi Trust was born in the minds of a few like-minded people who shared a vision :   empowering the community to become  aware, healthy, self-reliant, self-sustaining and productive.  

To achieve these ends, a Trust was created to pool the resources and engage in activities like workshops, weekend camps, medical,  educational and legal aid, community awareness and self-help programs, cultural and spiritual heritage programs, etc.

The tiny seed has now bloomed into a 'Vidya Vaaridhi Parivaar' with different branches of the  that include 'Helping Hands', 'Vidya Daan', 'Urban Leaves', and 'Vedanta Satsang'.
