School Specific Expenses
₹ 0 ₹ 30
We have made a policy decision to not allocate for discretionary spending this year. If any arise, Sikshana will account for it under administrative expenses.
Mentor cost ₹ 256 ₹ 120
Mentors are assigned per school and not per student. Last year, we had 39 schools and 5557 students. So the per school mentoring cost was 17K. This year, we have 51 schools and 2815 students (lower school density in south vs. north karnataka). The per school cost is 14K - lower because we are asking mentors to stretch and cover more schools.
Admininstrative and program monitoring costs ₹ 53 ₹ 20
Sikshana will incur more fixed overhead costs this year: addition of local senior management, development of product (i.e. workbook, tablet program), fixed heads for fundraising, accounting, reporting, BI, etc. This cost increase will be almost entirely offset by removing provisions for discretionary spending (Rs. 30 in 14-15).
