There are currently 7 schools in operation at rural villages across Tamilnadu,India and each year the schools will expand one grade level until they run at full capacity with classes from lower kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools presently cater to 2,745 students from nearby villages , with approximately 60% of students supported by full scholarships. In the coming years, Isha Vidhya would set up several more such schools across many more villages in rural India.
