NICE formed by Mr. Purnachandra Rao in May 2002. He is also an active Asha Hyderabad volunteer. NICE is currently supported by Asha Hyderabad and Work an Hour and previously by Asha Berkeley. Needy Illiterate Children Education (NICE) is an Indian non-profit organization that works towards balanced development of illiterate and very poor Indian children, through education. NICE identifies interested children from bottom-most strata of the Indian society, and provides them food, high quality formal high school education and most importantly, enough vocational skills to earn a living when they leave the school. It also aims to provide assistance to the graduates to start rural businesses, by arranging financial loans and other necessary aid, thus encouraging rural development and discouraging migration to cities, which is a major problem in India today.
