We, the Literacy Mission team (NIT Hamirpur), hope that you are fine and are doing well at your respective places.We are pleased to inform you that with your consistent support and blessings, Literacy Mission is on the path of achieving its aim of building an educated society.
You would be delighted to know that this year Literacy Mission is going to organize ‘PRAYAS’–the annual cultural-cum-charity function of Literacy Mission–on 13th April 2013, Saturday (one day fest). The theme of PRAYAS-2013 is “PRAYAS-Ek Behtar Kal Ke Liye.” We will be greatly thankful to you if, out of your busy schedule, you can devote some of your precious time and grace us with your benignant presence on the day of Prayas-2013.
Literacy Mission–a small programme started by the students of NITH in 2004 with a philanthropic aim of educating the children of the nearby impoverished society; has now become a big well organized family consisting more than 100 volunteers and about 150 children .The team has left no stone unturned to help these poor children realize their dreams. These children are being given all the necessary things for their studies free of cost. Medical assistance is also provided to their families. The hard work of kids has really paid and the phenomenal success bears a testimony to this fact. 

Some of the victories of kids are-
1.      Lalita (5th class) has scored highest (95.5%) among eight schools (regional board) and she also cracked JNV (Javahar Navodaya Vidyalaya) entrance exam in 2010.
2.      Mr. Joshi Sureen qualified AIEEE-2009 and is currently pursuing B. Tech from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad National Institute of Technology (NIT), Bhopal.
3.      A student Mr. Bhupendra has cleared the Indian Air Force exam in 2009 and is presently posted in Assam.
4.      A total of 3 students are presently studying at JNV.
5.      Ms. Madhu got 84% and Mr. Chandan got 86.4% in their 10th boards exams (H.P Board).
6.      Most of the children have been made computer literate.
Medical assistance has been provided to kids:-
1.      Prince, whose parents are daily wage workers, had suffered a cardiac disorder at the age of four yrs. He was successfully operated at ESCORT Hospital, DELHI with timely effort and support of Literacy Mission.
2.      Another child Arpita had suffered from multiple cysts in kidney when she was two yrs old got successfully operated at PGIMER, Chandigarh.
Literacy Mission is advancing forward in its endeavour and is being run with the efforts of more than 100 student volunteers.

To meet this expenditure we organize PRAYAS in which students as well as faculty members of NITH make contributions. The funds collected during PRAYAS from college students (by selling tickets for this one day fest), and from Faculties (by means of donations) do not make the sufficient amount of funds for the year round activities of Literacy Mission, and so we seek a kind support from all the alumni of NITH in any way they can provide; be it financial, sponsoring kids in their education, etc. .
Literacy Mission maintains an SBI account where donation can be made, the account details of which are provided below.
