Background
Helping Minds is a group of 200 volunteers, rendering academic as well as financial aid to rural poor students in Tamil Nadu, helping scores to pursue engineering, medical and polytechnic courses.

Every month, each member started contributing a minimum of Rs 100 and proceeds donated to deserving poor students.

The trust extends financial help to students identified and validated by the members. Those having consistently very good academic record and hailing from poor families are given priority.

Their assistance has helped scores of students pursue Engineering, Medicine, Polytechnic, Paramedical and other job-oriented courses. The beneficiaries have now settled in top jobs, members said. During the past three years alone, the trust has donated around Rs 5.5 lakh for over 40 students, besides developing infrastructure in 10 Government schools.
