#20260704 - BE ECE 2nd year student from Salem studying in CIT Coimbatore

Family Background:

The student comes from a small village and belongs to a financially constrained family. His father works as a handloom weaver from home and earns approximately ₹10,000 per month. However, the income is not consistent, as the demand for hand-weaving work has reduced considerably.

His mother is a homemaker and occasionally takes up daily-wage work to supplement the family income. The family lives in a small ancestral house and does not own any significant property or other major assets.

The student's elder sister has completed her B.Sc. in Horticulture and is currently preparing for government examinations.

Educational Background:

Despite the family's financial difficulties, the student has remained committed to his education. He has been performing well academically, scoring approximately 75–80% in his previous semester, and his college has also confirmed that he maintains good attendance.

The student came to know about Aalayam through a friend who is already an Aalayam beneficiary.

Financial Need:

The family managed the student's first-year educational expenses with support from family members and by pledging family jewellery.

For the current academic year, the family has already made significant efforts to meet the student's college and hostel expenses. They also sold a cow to arrange part of the required amount. However, with the father's limited and unstable income, the family is finding it difficult to meet the remaining educational expenses without additional support.

Aalayam Support:

After reviewing the student's academic performance, family circumstances, college information, and living conditions, Aalayam has approved financial assistance of ₹30,000 toward his educational expenses.

Through this support, Aalayam hopes to reduce the financial burden on the family and help the student continue his education without interruption.

Amount Approved by Aalayam: ₹30,000
