Mission
To give every child — regardless of family income, village or circumstance — free access to excellent teaching, honest mentoring and the confidence to dream big.
About Us
Quality education, free and reachable for every child
GiveWise Educational Foundation is a Section 8 non-profit organisation working to make quality education free and reachable for every child.
Our Story
From Amritsar, to wherever a child is waiting
Our work began in Amritsar, Punjab, where we started teaching children who had the talent and the hunger to learn, but not the means to pay for good teaching. The change we saw — in the children’s results, and even more in their confidence and motivation — travelled. Schools in Maharashtra heard of the work and approached us themselves, asking us to teach their children too. Today, even children who attend paid coaching centres in their towns choose to learn with us — free, and happy.
We teach live and online, six days a week, with weekly tests, study material and personal mentoring — the full discipline of a good school, carried to the child’s own home and village.
How GiveWise Works
From a school’s door, to a child’s desk
- 1
Schools join, with permission
Our classes run in schools with the permission of Zilla Parishad, Maharashtra. Schools hear of the work and approach us themselves; their students enrol through the school.
- 2
Live classes, six days a week
Teachers teach live and online, six days a week — the school Boards, taught with the same rigour as IIT-JEE and NEET preparation, for Classes 9 to 12.
- 3
Practice every day
Every day is practice: notes to learn from, practice sets to work through, a test every week, and doubt-clearing whenever a student is stuck.
- 4
Mentoring, shared openly
Our teachers know their students by name and mentor them beyond the textbook — habits, confidence and direction — and each child’s progress is shared with parents and the school.
Mission & Vision
What we work for, and what we see ahead
Vision
A country where no child is left behind; where a student from a small village can stand on the international stage, not just the national one — and make her family, her village and India proud.

MEET THE FOUNDER
The teacher who started it all.
Before founding GiveWise, Amit Kumar taught Physics at renowned schools and institutions, and has been invited as a chief guest by renowned institutions. In 2025 he founded GiveWise so that no child’s future depends on what their parents can pay.

“I did not start GiveWise to build an institution. I started it because I kept meeting children whose dreams were bigger than their parents’ incomes. A child’s future should be decided by their merit and their hard work — never by money. That is why everything at GiveWise is free, and why it always will be. Education is not a business for us. It is a promise.”

A small team with one belief — every child deserves a fair chance.
Alok Kumar Shukla
President
“Good intentions need strong foundations. I look after the partnerships and support that keep GiveWise standing, so that our teachers never have to think about anything except teaching — and our students never have to think about fees at all.”
Shubham Mishra
Secretary
“Technology should shorten the distance between a child and a good teacher. I help build the systems that carry our classrooms into villages and small towns.”

“Every single day, I make sure our classes happen — on time, in order, with care. Behind every child learning at GiveWise, there is a team that never lets the day slip. That is my work, and I am proud of it.”
Shweta Bharti
Classroom Coordinator — Maharashtra
“I stay close to our classrooms in Maharashtra — the teachers, the children, the parents. When a class runs with love and discipline, learning follows on its own.”
