How it Works

...

Students

  • As a way to instill among school children the habit of utilizing their pocket money (at least of one day in a month) for productive purposes and showing empathy for kids who do not know the joys of schooling, schools can encourage each student to contribute as little as Rs. 10/- per month
  • Schools can involve parents and collect the money along with the monthly tuition fee
  • The pooled amount can then be remitted to HCHW-AP through an account payee Cheque; direct account to account transfer or through UPI
