Project Designed & Lead by: Varshini Thirumurthy
Designation: Digital Analyst at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital
About me:
Greetings, I’m Varshini, a Biotechnology Graduate, currently embarking on my journey as a Digital Analyst at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital. Venturing into the digital realm within the medical sector is a thrilling new chapter for me, brimming with opportunities for growth and discovery. My roots are deeply embedded in Coimbatore, where I’ve gathered four years of enriching experience in an International Organization.I hold a fervent belief in the transformative power of collective action and human connection. Whether extending a helping hand to those in need or fostering kindness and empathy in my interactions, I’ve learned that life’s true beauty lies in meaningful relationships. As a Certified District Trainer in Rotaract, I’ve honed my skills in facilitating soft skills workshops and orchestrating impactful gatherings, nurturing both personal and professional development.
My involvement in planning, organizing, and executing events has equipped me with invaluable insights into understanding diverse perspectives. Beyond my professional pursuits, my passion for cooking serves as a source of solace and creativity. Music and books are my steadfast companions and inspiration. Driven by a desire to carve out my path, uplift others, and cultivate a tranquil existence, I am a staunch advocate for kindness, empathy, and compassion. I firmly believe in their transformative power, seeing them as catalysts for creating a better world. Guided by the adage, “The fragrance of a flower spreads only in the direction of the wind, but the goodness of a person spreads in all directions,” I endeavor to radiate positivity in every interaction.
In closing, I am a dreamer at heart, striving to infuse every moment with the vibrancy of life’s colors. For me, it’s not merely about existence but about creating magic in every step of the journey.
Why We designed Aakkam Scholarship’s:
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela
At the core of my involvement with Aakkam Foundation lies a profound commitment to the transformative power of education. Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s timeless words, I am driven by the belief that education is not merely a privilege but a fundamental right that has the potential to reshape destinies and create a more equitable society. Joining Aakkam Foundation was a deliberate choice, rooted in my desire to gain firsthand experience in building something meaningful from the ground up. I see this endeavor as a vital opportunity to learn and grow, recognizing that true wisdom often emerges from the challenges of creation and innovation.
As the Lead of the “Aakkam Scholarship’s Project,” my vision is centered on empowering women through education. I am deeply passionate about the profound impact that education can have on shaping young minds and fostering a brighter, more promising future. By providing access to quality education, we not only impart knowledge but also instill confidence, resilience, and hope in their hearts. The essence of the “Aakkam Scholarship’s Project” lies in its ability to transcend mere academics, aiming to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are equipped to navigate life’s complexities with courage and compassion. It is my firm belief that by investing in education, we sow the seeds of positive change that ripple outward, touching countless lives and transforming communities for generations to come.
As a steward of this initiative, I am fully committed to ensuring its success, impact, and sustainability. Together, let us embark on this journey of education and empowerment, united by a shared vision of a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
Let’s educate and empower together!
How we do it:
The Aakkam Scholarship’s Project transcends traditional philanthropy by spearheading a comprehensive approach to uplift the educational trajectories of deserving youths in orphanages. Beyond being a mere financial sponsor for college education, our project initiates a meticulous six-month process, commencing prior to the 12thgrade board exams. A specialized team from Aakkam, proficient in the realm of education, collaborates with orphanages to identify students preparing for their 12th-grade exams. The team engages with individual students to complete the Aakkam Scholarship’s Project Intake Application, assessing their academic qualifications based on 10th and 11th-grade performance, as well as internal 12th-grade exam scores. This thorough evaluation guides the final selection of candidates eligible for Aakkam Scholarship’s. Upon identifying candidates, our team conducts monthly meetings with them, exploring their academic interests, preferred colleges, and envisioned career paths. Aakkam’s team of experts provides guidance on optimal degree choices, instilling confidence in candidates by reaffirming Aakkam’s steadfast support until they secure gainful employment post-graduation. These interactions not only foster a deep understanding of the candidates but also serve as motivational forums, enhancing their performance in board exams. The Aakkam Scholarship’s Project positions sponsored individuals as the enduring Legacy of Aakkam. Legacy Builders, the sponsors, commit to financially supporting their chosen candidates, covering college fees, hostel expenses, study materials, clothing, mobile devices, and monthly living costs. Additionally, sponsors have the unique opportunity to mentor and guide their sponsored individuals through their educational journey until they achieve financial independence. Recognizing the substantial commitment involved, Aakkam encourages multiple Legacy Builders to jointly sponsor a single student, fostering shared responsibility. This inclusive approach enables a broader community to contribute to the transformative impact of legacy building. Our meticulously designed project places the future of Aakkam at its core. The foundation ensures a seamless process, providing sponsors with comprehensive information before committing. Regular events and gatherings, held every six months, allow sponsors to track academic progress and facilitate meaningful connections between Aakkam, sponsors, and the sponsored youths, fostering a sense of integration within the Aakkam family.
Vision Statment
Empowering Dreams, Transforming Lives: The Aakkam Scholarship's envisions a future where every deserving youth in orphanages has the opportunity to realize their educational aspirations, break the cycle of adversity, and become architects of their destiny. We strive to cultivate a legacy of empowered individuals who, supported by the Aakkam family, contribute positively to society, creating a ripple effect of lasting impact.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Aakkam Scholarship's Project is to uplift and empower orphaned youths by providing comprehensive support throughout their educational journey. Through meticulous selection, personalized mentorship, and financial sponsorship, we aim to build a community of Legacy Builders dedicated to fostering academic success, career development, and self-sufficiency. Our mission is to create a legacy that not only transforms individual lives but also contributes to the broader societal fabric, embodying the values of education, empowerment, and compassion.

Why I Chose Aakkam?
As the famous proverb goes “It needs a village to raise a child”, and Aakkam provides me the oppurtunity to allow me to help the community that played a role in who I am today. Giving your time, knowledge, and/or money to help create a positive change to others life that helps build stronger community provides me immense joy and fulfills the meaning of life.

Team Member 1
Why I Chose Aakkam?
I was born in a rural area of Tamil Nadu, close to Coimbatore, without access to essential services like transportation, education, or other necessities of life. I am fortunate to have a maternal uncle who inspired and supported me in my studies, and many of my friends also contributed financially and morally to the completion of my engineering degree. While my hometown hamlet has made some progress, many other small villages still lack the most basic amenities, particularly in the area of education. This encouraged me to participate actively in the Aakkam foundation. The major goal is to provide every child with basic needs through Aakkam schools in rural Tamil Nadu and around the world which can help future generations to live in a better world.
