Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, donations to Jana Vidya Foundation are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act. After making a donation, you will receive an 80G tax exemption receipt via email that you can use when filing your income tax return. This means you can claim a deduction on the donated amount, reducing your taxable income while supporting education for underserved communities.
Where does Jana Vidya Foundation operate?
Jana Vidya Foundation is headquartered in Prayagraj (Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, India. Our programs — including learning centers, village and prison libraries, scholarships, medical camps, and community workshops — currently serve communities across Prayagraj district. We focus on underserved neighborhoods, rural villages, and institutional settings such as prisons where access to quality education is limited.
How are donations used?
We allocate donations with maximum impact in mind. Approximately 70% of funds go directly to education programs including learning centers and teacher training. About 15% supports our library initiatives — setting up free libraries and distributing books. Around 10% funds medical camps providing free health check-ups and awareness. Only 5% covers administrative costs. We publish detailed annual reports and financial breakdowns on our Transparency page so donors can see exactly how their contributions create change.
Can I visit the libraries?
Absolutely! Our community libraries in Prayagraj are open to the public and we welcome visitors. We have five libraries set up across villages and institutions, with over 2,000 books available in Hindi and English. To plan a visit, contact us through our Contact page or send an email to contact@janavidya.org.

How do I sponsor a child's education?
You can sponsor a child's education by visiting our Donate page and selecting a contribution amount. Your sponsorship covers tuition fees, books, school supplies, and uniforms for deserving students from underprivileged backgrounds. Jana Vidya Foundation has awarded over 50 scholarships to date, and every sponsored child receives mentorship and academic support from our volunteers. You will receive regular updates on the child's progress and academic achievements.
What is the 80G tax exemption?
Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act allows donors to claim a deduction on donations made to eligible charitable organizations like Jana Vidya Foundation. When you donate to JVF, you receive an 80G certificate that you can submit with your income tax return to reduce your taxable income. The deduction amount depends on the applicable percentage under the Act. This incentive encourages charitable giving while providing tangible tax benefits to donors supporting education and social welfare causes.
