Our Impact: SSDJ Foundation By the Numbers
Every year we pause to look back at the work we have done — and to share it openly with the students, families and well-wishers who make it possible. We believe trust is built on transparency. So here is a clear, honest look at the difference the Shri Sital Das Jain (SSDJ) Foundation is making, told simply through the numbers.
1,571 students supported
This is the number we are proudest of. Right now, 1,571 students are pursuing their education with our support. Each is a real young person — sitting in a classroom, preparing for exams, building a future that once felt out of reach. Behind each of them is a family that now has reason to hope.
187 institutions across India
Our students are studying in 187 different schools and colleges. Because our support follows the student anywhere in India, talented learners from District Panipat are no longer limited by where they live.
Over Rs 3.8 crore paid — directly to institutions
We have paid more than Rs 3.8 crore in fees, equipment and related costs — and every rupee has gone straight to schools and colleges, never as cash to individuals. The Foundation is entirely self-funded by the family and seeks no outside donations, which keeps our support steady, independent and accountable. It is designed to continue in perpetuity.
Skills for a changing world
Financial support alone is not enough today, so we go further — bringing future-ready skill courses to students of Panipat:
Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi
Numbers tell only part of the story. Through our campaign Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi (We Are Second to None), we visit schools and colleges to hold motivational talks and films and interactive sessions where students share their dreams aloud — often for the first time. Every gathering ends with a free lunch and a lasting message: where you come from does not decide how far you can go.
Why these numbers matter
Higher education breeds peace and non-violence.
When one student is educated, an entire family rises. Knowledge replaces fear, opportunity replaces frustration, and slowly a stronger, more peaceful community grows around us. That is the real return on every rupee we commit.
