Under the programme, each family can avail of a maximum of 2 loans for up to INR 5 lakh (INR 2.5 lakh per student) for 27 months.

Peshwa Acharya, Chief Marketing Officer, VIBGYOR Group of Schools, said, “We are continuously working on innovative ways and means to help students whose parents are financially impacted by the on-going pandemic. In this difficult time, our aim is to support each other, as we work to ensure continuity of education amid the lockdown. We have listened to their problems, and have subsequently rolled out the Easy-EMI Education Loan, to help VIBGYOR parents who have been financially affected by the pandemic and are doing their utmost to facilitate learning for their children. The interest-free loan will cover all education-related expenses and ensure that these students have access to everything necessary for their learning.”
