What We Do

Vidyadaan Sahayyak Mandal, Thane (VSM Thane) was founded in 2008 when a few like-minded people got together to help deserving students from Maharashtra’s rural areas who couldn’t pursue higher education due to weak financial position. Very early in its journey, VSM realised that it was the quality of help that mattered more than the quantity.

That has been the abiding mantra of VSM ever since. VSM developed the unique mentor-student model to transform the students into confident, responsible, and independent members of the society
