Students Support
Student Support Vertical is a place where students post their educational needs, like books, fees, devices, coaching, uniforms, and supporters find and fulfil them directly. It works on the same direct-giving principle as Connect & Help. KSF does not touch the money.
Any student can post a need. Students below 18 must have a parent or guardian post on their behalf. The need must be directly related to education.
Eligible categories include: Books & Study Material, School/College Fees, Devices & Internet, Coaching & Tuition, Uniforms & Supplies, and other educational needs. Personal non-educational items and commercial purposes are not eligible.
No. As with Connect & Help, student support is direct giving from supporter to student — not to KSF. 80G applies only to donations made to approved organisations. KSF will never issue a false 80G receipt for these transactions.
KSF has no means to verify genuiness of the need or the person posting the need. Misuse can be prevented only by exercising due diligence at the time of supporting. Donor has to satisfy himself whether the need is genuine. He can ask the needy student any supportive document like student ID or fee receipt to build donor confidence. All interactions are between the student/guardian and the supporter. KSF accepts no responsibility of misuse.
Yes. This is actually recommended, especially for books, devices, or uniforms. The supporter can purchase the item online and ship it to the student's address, or purchase locally and deliver. This ensures the support reaches its intended purpose directly. Whatever arrangement suits donor & needy both is welcome. KSF has no role or say in it.
