GAURAV stands for Honor and Respect. The foundation was established in the year 2007 by Mr. Gaurav Singhal. We believe in Youth and its Power. Education is the necessity for any developing country like India. Proper education and healthy environment can empower these young bloods. Gaurav Foundation is a public charitable trust under the Gaurav Singhal Group. We have been developing a grant making process that helps us decide how to spend our time, effort, and money so we can accomplish that goal for as many people as possible. This process helps us choose the issues we will work on and the groups to which we will make grants. We do not pretend that this process is unique to us. We also recognize that we dont always follow this process to the letter with every grant; in some cases it represents our aspirations as much as reality. Our process is evolving as we get better at choosing strategies, making grants, measuring progress towards impact, and evaluating the results. We are committed to reporting what we are learning at key stages during the grant making process. Our management committee oversees all the foundations efforts. The committee meets regularly to ensure that all of our teams perform efficiently and to facilitate cross-functional connections. Gaurav Foundation is registered with the Registrars of Companies under Section 25 for Major NGOs. Our Foundation currently has its official office only in Chennai and we are looking forward to expand our efforts to all major cities and towns of India. We are thankful to Google India and Govt. of Tamil Nadu for their continuous contribution and support towards scholarships
