ABOUT

Education
plays a fundamental role in all development.
In India,
the role of education is particularly important in this stage of its
evolution. VSEI ( Volunteers in
Service to Education in India,
Inc.) is an organization dedicated to helping development in India by assisting education and
making it more relevant.
There are many in the world who are much less

and in Canada. For funding its projects in India, VSEI

Objectives and Activities of V.S.E.I.
VSEI (Volunteers in Service to Education in India, Inc.) is an
organization which is dedicated to help development in India in the
context of education. We work by contacting interested groups and institutions
in different parts of India
and taking up work on education-related projects. VSEI is nonprofit and non-political. VSEI has 501 (c)(3) income- tax-exempt status; donations to VSEI
and membership are income-tax
deductible.
VSEI was started in late 1968.
It is made up of well-wishers of India, including people of Indian origin. VSEI’s
primary objectives are to initiate and assist education-related projects of
various types in different parts of India. Its programs include different aspects of
education -- Children’s education at all levels; Vocational Education and Training;
Women’s Education and upliftment; the education of Disabled
persons ( blind, hearing impaired, and mentally disabled ); Science Education; Teacher Training; education aimed at removing
illiteracy; and education which provides the basis for rural development. Some of the projects promote science and
technology in the rural context. The use
of computers in different aspects of education is now an integral
part of VSEI’s
projects. The VSEI Scholarship Scheme and the VSEI Sponsor-a-Child Plan provide direct
help to needy children.
Highlights
of programs assisted by VSEI during the last few years include an Educational Resource
Center project in Bangalore, which includes a long-term program for
Teacher-training workshops. Other recent
projects include assistance to the education/training of blind persons in
Mumbai, vocational training and income-generation programs for
HIV/AIDS-affected women in Mumbai, help for hearing-impaired persons in
Gujarat, West Bengal, New Delhi,
Chennai & Karnataka, and assistance to tsunami-affected schools in two
regions of Tamil Nadu, leading to projects in
continuation of that work.
The description of selected VSEI projects in different parts of India will
give you an idea of some of the work that VSEI assists. We invite your inquiries regarding these and other
projects, and your ideas regarding how you would like to participate & help. Your interest and support will enable us to
continue & extend the work we have been doing.
