Important Note: We have resumed the publication of reports for this crucial MMNA initiative, aiming to promote awareness, maintain transparency, and disseminate information.
Due to the intricacies of formatting, book balancing, and web publishing, the process will require a significant amount of time. However, rather than waiting to complete all tasks, the committee has decided to publish the most recent data while simultaneously working on previous years’ information.
In the event that you discover any missing or inaccurate records pertaining to your involvement, we encourage you to submit this form & provide the necessary details for correction. For urgent matters or if you prefer to communicate directly with me or leave a message, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at 864-863-1010 or leave a message on WhatsApp using the same number.
Thank you for your cooperation.

MMNA Education Initiative provides interest-free loans to Maheshwari students pursuing higher education in the US (undergraduate or graduate). You can find more information about this initiative at www.mmna.org/education . This initiative is only possible due to generous donations from our community members. At the IMRC organized in 2022, 78 community members pledged a cumulative donation of ~$131,000 to the initiative. We are very much thankful to these community members and the past recipients of this loan program who have paid their dues. This helps us to make the funds available for the incoming batch of students and make a difference in their lives. It is your continued support that sustains our mission and makes all the difference.
On the auspicious occasion of Holi and as promised at IMRC 2022 in Houston, we performed a raffle to pick 3 lucky winners from the donors who generously pledged their donations during the convention. We are grateful to Asha ji and ShriNarayan ji Chandak for sponsoring the raffle prizes. Congratulations to all 3 donors and below you can find their photos and a brief message from them:

“Thank you and honored to support students and MMNA with great initiatives overcome for our community. Every student needs self-knowledge, inspiring models, learning strategies, and creating processes and tools. We are glad to be part of this community and thoughts.” |

The desire to learn is the first step in creating a strong career and future for oneself. The next step is accessing education. Unfortunately, accessing education is not always easy or financially in reach. The MMNA Education Initiative helps bridge the gap between those with a strong desire to learn and education, and we couldn’t be more honored to support this wonderful program. This program can help a lot of students within our community and we are excited to see what the recipients of these loans achieve! |
