About Vidya Jyoti
‘Vidya’ in Hindi stands for ‘Education’ and ‘Jyothi’ means ‘Light’; Vidya Jyothi together means ‘The light of education’. Vidya Jyothi, a project of OBI aims to educate children who don’t have the opportunity to go to school due to their poor economical conditions. Most of the children of Vidya Jyothi are orphans, school dropouts and children of widows or rag pickers. Apart from giving them an education, Vidya Jyothi aspires to touch these young lives with the love of Christ.

To overcome this problem and make sure that the children go to school, a day care center was started in the year 2004. Committed teachers of Vidya Jyothi teach the children and lead them to a meaningful life and better future.

A medical check up for the children is done once in 3 months to keep track of the children’s health. Once a year the children are taken out on picnic for a time of fun and entertainment.
