Our Impact in Numbers
Transforming rural education through innovation and dedication
"Every child deserves to love learning, not fear it."

Vinayak Mali
Founder & Director
In 11th standard, I lost my close friend Maruti—he took his own life due to overwhelming fear of science and mathematics. That tragedy became my purpose. I founded Vidyoday to ensure no child ever feels that kind of pressure from education.
From Abdullat village in Kolhapur, we've grown from 2 to 30 schools. Students once labeled "slow learners" now create innovations like flood indicators. We've faced challenges, gained trust, and witnessed transformations that fuel our mission every single day.
