CONCERN INDIA FOUNDATION : This is a non-government funding agency and came to the aid of Sai Shiksha Sansthan, in 1995, when Saikripa was under pressure to close the school due to financial crunch. However, the entry of CIF changed the whole scenario. The support received from CIF made it possible to bring down the school fee from Rs.70/- to Rs.35/- per child per month. This encouraged lots of parents to send their daughters to school who would otherwise have remained illiterate as educating a girl child was considered a waste of money, since eventually they have to get married and move out of their homes.
