At Him Jyoti School we are committed to empowering girls from economically deprived sections of society through quality education, holistic development and exposure to opportunities. We want them to become independent responsible citizens who contribute to their communities.
Our vision has been supported by philanthropists, NRIs, trusts, corporate houses and nonprofits working to create positive social impact.
We are grateful that our Him Jyoti family continues to grow with an expanding pool of donors who dedicate their funds, time, effort and skills towards the growth of students and teachers.
The contributions to the school are managed under The Himalayan School Society and are eligible for tax benefits under Section 80 G. The school has thoughtfully outlined various programs that will help you choose or create the cause that aligns with you.
