UPAY (UnderPrivileged Advancement by Youth)

Welcome to the official LinkedIn page of UPAY (UnderPrivileged Advancement by Youth)! We are a non-governmental organization dedicated to providing quality education to underprivileged children in India. Founded on the 12th of May, 2010 by Varun Shrivastava, an IIT Kharagpur Graduate, along with his young engineer friends, UPAY has been on a mission to make quality education easily accessible to the remotest villages of India. On 19th September 2011, UPAY got registered under the Society Registration Act as an NGO. Our journey began with three members and one center, catering to 20 children. Currently, we have a total of 40 centers across the country which includes 32 Learning Centers, 6 Skill Development Centers, and 2 libraries. It has expanded from 20 children to more than 10000 children & 380 volunteers. The success story of UPAY speaks volumes about the transformative power of education. We have witnessed children who were once unable to perform basic arithmetic calculations now excelling academically and bringing pride to their underprivileged areas. One of the key aspects that set UPAY apart is our sustainable model. As our students graduate and pursue higher education, they give back to their communities by becoming teachers for the underprivileged children in their villages. This "Education for Education" and "Educate & get Educated" approach not only empowers our students but also creates a self-sustaining cycle of education and progress. At UPAY, we firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of social change. Our commitment is to provide a nurturing environment, dedicated teachers, and the necessary resources to unlock the potential within each child.
