SVYM is rendering its service to the rural, tribal and marginalized community in Karnataka from past 36 years.

SVYM turns 42!

As for all journeys uncharted, made by men and women of change, a mere trail of fresh footprints serves as a path and a shoulder by the side feels like an army.

Children Make Our Day

In our day to day work at SVYM, so often children make our day without even knowing and give us the hope and strength to keep going no matter what.
At the audiology department of our rural hospital, it’s the sheer excitement of a child hearing for the first time. At the rehabilitation gym, it's witnessing a little one take their very first unsupported step.
For the kitchen staff at our tribal school, the perks are unmatched: watching small hands eagerly eat, a smile of deep satisfaction lighting up their faces as little tummies are filled and energy levels return.
Meanwhile, for the Mobile Science Lab staff, curiosity almost always meets its perfect counterpart, joy, the moment a student successfully performs an experiment for the very first time.
It is an undeniable truth: children are our gentle, daily reminders to build a better world.
Happy Children’s Day

United for the development of our State and our Nation.

On the occasion of Karnataka Rajyotsava, we are happy to share the highlights of our collective efforts across the state through a short video. You can read our Annual Report by visiting our website - svym.org.

As we look back on the year, we are reminded that SVYM’s strength lies not in numbers, but in people — in their compassion, courage, and collective action. Across villages and towns and cities in Karnataka, communities have stepped forward as changemakers, parents, farmers, and youth — all coming together to shape their own development.

Each story reminds us that true progress begins when people see themselves as both the means and the end of change. Something that we've witnesssed working along with like minded partners across Karnataka.

This year’s journey celebrates human potential in action — continuously building the and the towards community led development.

Together, in the spirit of partnership, we continue our shared mission of building a resurgent India. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Ravi, a young student from Viveka Tribal Centre for Learning, SVYM's residential school abutting Bandipur forest, shares his experience of what studying at VTCL means to him in this short video.
Starting from the humble beginnings in 1988, VTCL has come a long way from believing education as a means to 'engage' children and provide nutrition. The focus areas of the school have since evolved with the community's preparedness and aspirations. Over the last 5 years, the focus has shifted from mere admission and attendance to promoting learning outcomes and making arts, sports and vocational skills an integral part of school education. This has created opportunities for students to continue education & thereby transform their lives & their families.

We firmly believe that it is now the right time to move ahead to focusing on education which will transform the communities as a whole. VTCL now envisions to create a learning environment which is holistic, inclusive and joyful for the children from the rural and tribal areas of H D Kote and neighboring taluks. The school shall be modeled based on the recommendations of the National Education Policy 2020.

We thank Tektronix for partnering with us in building the

of our students.
