JKP Education

JKP Education
Located in Uttar Pradesh, India, JKP Education provides 100% free education from kindergarten to postgraduate studies to more than 5,000 girls living in impoverished rural areas near the small town of Kunda in Pratapgarh District.

With 430 million children in India, every sixth child in the world originates from India. Unfortunately, even today girls in India are robbed of an education due to poverty. School dropout rate in India among adolescent girls is as high as 63.5%.  Educating girls is not a priority for most families who are already struggling to meet the basic daily needs of food, roof and clothing for their family members.

Recognising this need, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat established three educational institutions in this rural town of Uttar Pradesh that span from pre-school to post-graduate studies. All three institutions not only provide free education, but also provide free summer and winter uniforms, books, bicycles, umbrellas, etc., to ensure that any obstacle to a student's education induced by poverty is removed.
