2. Our great intellectual leaders said…  Give someone a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach someone to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.  He who opens a school door, closes a prison.  Education, education, education alone! Travelling through many cities of Europe and observing in them the comforts and education of even the poor people, there was brought to my mind the state of our own poor people, and I used to shed tears. What made the difference? Education was the answer I got.  The only service to be done for our lower classes is to give them education, to develop their lost individuality. Give them ideas – that is the only help they require, and then the rest must follow as the effect.  Be the change you want to see in the world.  An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

9. We thought of a step at a time..  We understand reaching all sectors of community to promote education is a gigantic task in itself and beyond the current capacity of ASSET  We want to start with students who want to study but don’t have financial support. We want to support such "Students-in-Need" by providing monetary assistance in terms of "Tuition fee - Assistance“  Encouraging students to continue their education in all possible ways.  Bring the 3 key elements together ASSET-for-ALL Educational Institutes Community Students
