Education is undeniably one of the most powerful catalysts for income growth and economic mobility in India. Numerous robust studies have quantified the immense earnings premiums and dividends associated with higher educational attainment in the country.
The 2021 Periodic Labour Force Survey revealed a near 4-fold increase in average weekly wages from ₹1,269 for those with no education to ₹4,976 for degree holders. The World Bank found graduate degree holders earning a staggering 106% higher wages compared to those with no formal education.
At the household level, the India Human Development Survey showed mean monthly expenditure was over 2.7 times higher for households headed by degree-educated individuals (₹3,668) versus those headed by illiterates (₹1,348).
However, access to quality education remains limited for underprivileged sections. NITI Aayog data highlighted only 13.4% of urban poor youth aged 18-23 had completed higher secondary education, compared to 70.9% from the top 20% richest households.
This uneven access traps generations in cycles of poverty. But you can help break these vicious cycles by supporting the Trayo Foundation's educational initiatives - from scholarships and school infrastructure to teacher training programs.
Your donation can empower underprivileged children and youth with the transformative power of education. As studies show, every additional year of schooling boosts lifetime earnings by 14% on average (Greenstone & Looney).
Education is the great socio-economic equalizer. Research by Azim Premji University found that a 1 percentage point increase in higher education rates increases wages by 7.37% for men and a remarkable 10.68% for women in India.
By donating to the Trayo Foundation's education programs today, you can uplift entire families and communities out of poverty. You give the priceless gift of knowledge that leads to higher incomes, economic self-reliance, and a brighter, more equitable future for all.
Join our mission to build an inclusive India where every child has access to quality education and the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. Your generosity can set forth a virtuous cycle of progress.
Donate now and invest in the nation's human capital that will propel sustainable development for generations to come.
