About Asha
Asha for Education was started in the summer of 1991. A few students at the University of California, Berkeley including V.J.P.Srivatsavoy, D. Gupta and Sandeep Pandey got together to think of ways in which they could play a role in the development of India, the country of their origin. These young people shared the belief that education is a critical requisite and an effective catalyst for social and economic change in India. Basic education became the agenda for the action group that emerged from this gathering. The group was named Asha to represent the hope that had brought these individuals together and the hope that they aimed to bring into the lives of children in India. [Read more....]
Asha's focus on children's education has galvanised a number of volunteers across the globe. Today, there are over 66 Asha chapters worldwide: 45 in the US, 14 in India, and 7 in Europe, Singapore and Australia. [Read more ...]
