Transforming dreams of a plantation worker into reality

"For many students coming from rural backgrounds, the biggest hurdle in achieving their career goals is lack of resources. Veranda RACE identified Muthu, a plantation worker dreaming of becoming a VAO, from a prominent television talk show. We're proud to offer free TNPSC coaching, books and materials to help turn his dreams into reality."

Empowering aspirants to achieve beyond their sight

“At Veranda RACE, we believe every aspiring student deserves a fair chance. Our groundbreaking 64 TNPSC Braille books, a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, could be accessed by the visually impaired to help them prepare for the TNPSC competitive examination like any other normal aspirant without any help from other people.”

Joining hands for free educational training

“The Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO) has entered into an MoU with Veranda Learning to conduct free educational training for competitive Bank and SSC exams for SC & ST students in Tamil Nadu under Veranda RACE. Most students who trained under Veranda RACE cracked the Prelims in their first attempt itself.”
