Power of Many: Empowering Quality Education
Power of Many is an ambitious initiative by BITS aimed at fostering an ecosystem that empowers quality education. Recognizing the education sector's rapid growth in India, and with BITS standing as one of the nation's premier universities, we are committed to nurturing a network that enriches the education landscape. Our goal is to instill the ethos of giving back for the advancement of higher education within both our alumni community and student body.
We firmly believe that a nation's progress is intricately linked to the strength of its education system. Thus, at BITS, we are dedicated to fostering the value of higher education as a cornerstone of societal development.
We actively support higher education, particularly for girls, through several initiatives and the establishment of Endowment Funds. Here's how BITS Pilani supports higher education, focusing on girls:
Female Student Ratio: BITS Pilani has made strides in increasing the representation of female students. As of the latest data:
- 19% of the total student population are female, out of 18,000+ students.
- Among the PhD students, 41.5% are female, out of 2,045 PhD students.
Endowment Funds: BITS Pilani has set up Endowment Funds to create a sustainable support system for students throughout their educational journey. These funds are crucial in providing financial assistance to students, especially girls, thereby enabling them to pursue higher education without financial constraints.
Promotion of Opportunities: The ecosystem created by BITS Pilani promotes various higher education opportunities through these Endowment Funds. Donations to these funds are pooled with contributions from other donors and invested strategically to support scholarships and educational programs specifically targeted at girls. This ensures that talented individuals have the necessary resources to fulfill their academic aspirations.
Impact of Donations: Contributions to the Endowment Funds are instrumental in shaping the future of education at BITS Pilani. Even small donations can make a significant impact when combined with others, as they directly fund scholarships and educational programs aimed at empowering girls and enhancing their academic journey.
Investment in Future Success: By donating to the Endowment Funds, individuals are investing in the potential and future success of students at BITS Pilani. This not only benefits the students themselves but also contributes to the broader societal development by nurturing skilled professionals and leaders.
