The Dadar Athornan Institute is a public charitable Institution funded by donations from philanthropic individuals and Trusts. The accounts are duly audited every year by a reputed firm of Accountants.

Today more than ever, with the regularly increasing rate of inflation, the Institute seeks your support and patronage by way of generous donations, which may be made to particular schemes or earmarked funds.

* Sponsoring a student:

On the basis of the expenses that the Institute annually incurs on a student, a student can be sponsored for a year by a donation of Rs. 2,00,0.00 (Rupees Two lacs only).

The donor can also maintain an Endowment Fund by paying a sum of Rs. 20,00, 0000/- (Rupees Twenty lacs only), whereby a student will be educated in the name of the donor’s family for a period of 10 years.

If the sponsorship is in memory of a departed one, the student recites the name of the deceased in regular rituals and prayers. He also prays the Tandarosti of the donor and his/her family.

Part sponsorship of a student, that covers just the education and not the boarding and lodging, is for Rs. 30,000/- per annum.

* Annual Baj-Rojgar Ceremonies Schemes:

Afringan, Farokhshi, Baj and Stum (on fruits) are performed once a year by students for five years on the rojgar (death anniversary day) of a deceased person, for a donation of Rs.50,000/-
