Why IIIT-A needs your support
From access to higher education, to broader career possibilities, to better resources on campus – your gifts are the gateway to making a difference in the lives of our students and the communities we live in.
No matter the size of your gift, every rupee counts because collectively, with your classmates, your gift to IIIT Allahabad helps change lives directly/indirectly.
the Alumni Donations will primarily be part of the “Endowment (Corpus) fund” where a part of the collected fund may be spent on a designated category/ head/ activity (out of the four categories namely A. Infrastructure, B. Students Support, C. Academics D. Others)
Gifts from you help to buy books, assist students in presenting their award-winning papers at conferences, provide scholarships, purchase library resources and provide emergency support to struggling students. All of these improve the IIITA student experience and create opportunity.
This is to inform you that any amount of donation made to your alma mater individually (taxpayer of India) is eligible for tax benefits under section 80G in India. In order to avail the tax deduction providing PAN number at the time of payment is mandatory.
Sustaining high quality of education and research — with a major impact on the society at large — is pivotal in the growth of an academic institution. Good groundwork support (buildings, equipment, networks, etc,) and high quality human resources (faculty, staff, etc.) are critical to a quality institution. IIIT Allahabad is a unique institution in its structure. We have 7000 approx. alumni of the institute in 20 years. This means not just more students, but also research across more domains and hence more impact. This requires a delicate balance between quality and affordability of education which can be achieved largely through philanthropic gestures from multiple sources, of which alumni can play a key role.
