Story Behind the Foundation
The Dexter Foundation is the brainchild of our Founder, Devendra Agrawal. In his own words:
​
"I was born in Hasampur, a small village in Neem ka Thana District and my father was a small cloth merchant. I was destined to run the same shop but a crucial event changed my life. My elder brother got admission to Navoday Vidyalay and he went on to become a doctor. Suddenly I was exposed to a whole new world that inspired me to focus on studies. I score AIR 136 in the IIT-Bombay entrance exam and post graduation I started an Investment Bank, Dexter Capital. Whatever I achieved in life today was made possible because someone showed me the way. I want to do the same for millions of underprivileged rural students and pay it forward."
Free Coaching for Navoday Entrance Exam 2025
The Dexter Foundation is currently training 100 students in partnership with IN-DEED Foundation from rural Rajasthan in 4 locations:
-
Kotputli, Behror
-
Hasampur, Neem ka Thana
-
Sojat, Pali
-
Bhatinda, Jodhpur
These students are being given free coaching in study centers near them by experience teachers in subjects like Hindi, Math and Mental Ability so that they can clear the entrance exam for Navoday Vidyalay to be held in Jan 2025.
We have already delivered more than 25,000 hours of classroom training and have also helped these students successfully register for the exam.While we eagerly look forward to their success in the exam, we believe that irrespective of the result, students have been exposed to a new way of life and we hope that it stays with them.
Free English Training for Rural Students
Dexter Foundation sponsored Online and Offline English language classes for 250 rural students from Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Odisha and Assam who come from weaker sections of the society through the NGO, EmpBindi international Association. These students studied in different schools in rural areas and were taught English from the basics to improve their spoken and written skills to help them in their academics.
The program was a great success helping the students in their academic education as well as giving them more confidence.
