Aarogya Vidya Foundation

Supports free or subsidized medical, dental, nursing and allied health education for students and practitioners who come
from economic or social disadvantage.



The Context of the Foundation

The educational sector has been rather inconsistent in mainstreaming ICT in its dominant operating model.
A purchase decision involving digital educational aids may be slowed down for various reasons: no easy access to budgets, complexities involved in a purchase process, as also certain institutional apprehensions with new methods, and so forth.


CSR support will bring quick relief and help institutions/ governments/ students make an important discovery.
We expect sustainability to improve as this process moves ahead.


Innovative pedagogy and ICT can be considerably more engaging, and hold the promise of effectively delivering some important facets of the complex teaching, self-learning and assessment processes involved in medical and healthcare education, without regard to location or time.





Our Mission

Our Mission is to enable easy, universal access to supplementary education, and to do so by approaching CSR funds, philanthropies of various kinds, development agencies and seek their benevolence to serve a public purpose diligently, innovatively, inexpensively.


Medisys is the instrument we intend using in the short term.
