At the Institute for Rural Development (IRD), we believe that sustainable progress is only possible through meaningful collaboration. Our partners share our vision for equity, access, and opportunity—and together, we are building bridges between dreams and reality in rural Nepal.

Bidya

Bidya

Bidya is committed to uplifting girls from underserved backgrounds by removing the financial barriers that prevent them from completing their education. By enrolling girls in English-medium or private schools and covering all tuition, supplies, and related costs, Bidya provides the foundation for lifelong opportunity and success.

Together with Bidya, we aim to empower bright young girls who, despite their potential, face socioeconomic hardships that limit their educational access. This year, we proudly selected the first cohort of Scholars—three academically talented girls from disadvantaged communities. Their full educational expenses will be supported through high school, and they will also receive consistent mentorship throughout their academic journey. The holistic Scholarship program aims to not only provide them education access but forge them into impactful leaders in their communities.
