In rural West Godavari/Eluru regions, many talented students from poor families face financial barriers to continuing education after SSC (10th class). SEVA bridges this gap by organizing merit-based scholarship distribution events, providing direct financial aid for tuition, books, and other expenses. The project targets students from 18+ schools and 30+ villages, focusing on SSC passers with strong academic records. Key collaborations include Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL), which supports large-scale distributions to motivate youth and create awareness among parents and communities.

• Recognize and reward academic excellence among underprivileged students.
• Reduce financial burden on families, preventing school dropouts.
• Inspire higher education pursuit (Intermediate/+2 and beyond) in rural areas.
• Promote inclusivity by covering students from marginalized sections (Tribal, Dalit, women).
• Foster community awareness on education’s role in empowerment and development
