Isha Vidhya's vision is to transform the quality of education for the rural population by providing high quality school education so that the native intelligence of rural children has the opportunity to bloom. Isha Vidhya is a grass root level endeavor towards this vision.

These schools will be designed to deliver confident, well-educated students on par with students from good urban schools, who will be equipped to pursue higher education and fully utilize opportunities available in the modern economy.

Isha Education runs four rural schools in Sandegoundenpalayam (Coimbatore), Peruma Palayam (Erode), Sirupadu (Tuticorin) and Kurandy (Nagerkovil). This Asha – Silicon Valley project is to support 80 children in the school in Tuticorin district.
The goals are:

1. Affordable high quality education for rural areas
2. Going beyond literacy and rudimentary education
3. Creating confident, well-educated, computer-skilled students
4. Education that empowers rural children to participate globally
5. Focusing on including girl children
6. Increasing educational awareness in rural societies
Isha Vidhya is the vision of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, wherein he envisages establishing high quality schools in rural India to provide international quality education. India's rural masses (the overwhelming majority of the country) have the latent potential to contribute and share in the growth of India. The main purpose of Isha Vidhya is to ensure that rural children are well educated in such way that they are academically, physically, and mentally capable of facing any situation with confidence and ease. Isha Vidhya intends to create confident, well educated youth who can participate globally and at the same time empower themselves.
