NAVA UDAYA TRUST (R)

Empowering Dreams Through Education

Supporting deserving students from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas to achieve their academic aspirations

About Us

We are alumni of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Doddaballapur, 8th Batch (1993–2000). Our Trust is founded on the conviction that education is the most powerful catalyst for social transformation. We are committed to taking small yet meaningful steps to promote education as a pathway to individual empowerment, family stability, and societal upliftment. By identifying and nurturing talent and potential, we strive to create opportunities that enable young minds to grow into responsible, skilled, and compassionate citizens who contribute positively to the nation.

The primary objective of the Trust is to support deserving and meritorious students who face financial constraints that hinder their educational aspirations. Through structured scholarship programs, we aim to ensure that no bright student is denied access to quality education due to economic limitations. Our focus is on identifying genuine need, academic excellence, and commitment to learning, thereby ensuring that support reaches those who can benefit the most.

We believe that investing in education is an investment in the future of society. The Trust operates with transparency, integrity, and accountability in all its activities, ensuring responsible utilization of resources entrusted to us. We actively collaborate with educators, institutions, donors, and community stakeholders to build sustainable models of support that create long-term impact rather than short-term relief.

Through our initiatives, we aspire to foster a culture of learning, equity, and social responsibility. Each scholarship awarded represents not just financial assistance, but a vote of confidence in a student's potential to bring about positive change. With humility and dedication, the Trust continues its journey of making a difference—one student, one opportunity, and one small step at a time—towards a more educated and uplifted society.

Impact Stories

Real stories of transformation and success

Chethan

Software Engineer

I was from a lower middle-class family but had a dream to study engineering in one of the best colleges and got a seat in RVCE through CET. But still I was unable to pay my full fees per year and was thinking to go for a loan from the bank. But since I didn't have any property to mortgage, banks refused to sanction the loan.

Then I met our school alumni Mr. Umesh and Mr. Jagadish from NAVA UDAYA TRUST through my Navodaya principal Sri. Chakravarthy and geography teacher Sri. S.R. Subramanya and the trust promised me to pay my fees. So, with the help of NAVA UDAYA TRUST, I was able to fulfill my dream and now I am working as a software engineer in a private company.

Samarth S Nayak

Engineering Student, Sir MVIT Bangalore

I am a Navodaya student from Udupi and I have got admission in Sir MVIT Bangalore through KCET. It was difficult for me to pay college fees, but with the help of the trust's scholarship promise every year I was relieved and got enrolled to Engineering course.

This support means a lot to me and I am truly thankful to the trustees for their encouragement and grateful to Nava Udaya Trust for providing me the scholarship.

Shivani Singh

JNV Ramanagara Alumna

I completed my 12th at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Ramanagara and was worried about further studies and paying college fees due to financial condition but later on I got to know about nava udaya trust that provides scholarship to students who studied in JNV's. I applied for it and was lucky enough to get the scholarship that helped me to continue my educational journey.

I'm really thankful to my teachers who told me about this scholarship. The procedure of applying for this scholarship went very well due to guidance of Mr. Umesh HM sir. I recommend this scholarship to all those students who cannot afford to continue their studies because of financial problems. This is a platform that provides opportunity to those who have the urge to fly high and pursue their dreams. I'm really thankful to all the trust members who have taken the initiative to motivate students to dream big rather than settling for less.
