As per the process, the donation from the donor gets received in a single account of Karnataka Text Book Society – Department of Public Instruction [KSDPI] which then gets transferred to the respective school account.

With this tie-up, donors can access Jana SFB’s complete payment ecosystem of RTGS, NEFT, UPI, IMPS, Debit card, NACH etc. to make their donations. Additionally, the strong network of Jana SFB serving five lakh customers in Karnataka, will enable the donors to reach out to the vast number of government schools across Karnataka.

We are delighted that we could contribute to this effort vide our digital infrastructure and are lucky to have a very small role in helping school children across the state.”
