“Education is one of the most powerful
instruments for reducing poverty and
inequality. Education is equally key to
enhance India’s competitiveness in the
global economy. Therefore, ensuring
access to quality education for all, in
particular for the poor and rural
population, is central to the economic
and social development of India.”
- The World Bank

About Us
FCS Foundation was conceived to bring similar level of education to
underprivileged children in rural areas as is available to affluent urban society.
Starting with small programs, we have grown to serve more than 6,700 children
with annual budgets of Rs 15 crores (US $3 million). It is a measure of our good
work that Government of India, Government of State of Punjab, Corporations, and
Enlightened citizens whole heartedly support us .
Currently, more than 500 teachers and support staff are working on full time or
contractual basis to help us achieve our goals.

Vision
Education is the only opportunity that can open
doors to every other opportunity. However it is
only true when we can deliver quality education
relevant to our times.
Simply because a child is poor or living in a
rural area doesn’t mean that we can consider
our job done just by provisioning sub-standard
education.
