Reward trust is working on upgrade of government schools in the Kancheepuram district. The schools have remained in the current level for over three decades. The trust upgrades the selected govt school to the next level by paying the 40 – 50% of the mandatory Public Deposit Fund (Rs 2 lakhs for upgrade of Higher Secondary schools and Rs 1 lakh for upgrade of High Schools). The trust then generates the remaining money from the village public, philanthropists of the village etc by the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) of the respective school.
Starting 2016-2017, Asha Berkeley will be supporting teachers for these government schools. Reward Trust places new teachers via the PTA in these schools until the government makes appointments. This is to ensure that students receive a continuous and quality education. The funding will be used to support salaries for ad hoc teachers appointed by the PTA.
The trust also gets local support to build classrooms and other infrastructure for the school.

REWARD trust was formed by a group of Scientists (working in IGCAR, Kalpakkam) who were concerned about the deplorable educational, health and economic avenues available in the neighbourhood of Kalpakkam (and were also sensitive to the finanacial constraints of the Govt).
The founders of Reward trust engage in a variety of educational and developmental initiatives:
1. AARCO-VIP programme (Association of the Atomic Research Centre Officers – Village Interaction Programme ) - Through this programme, govt. schools in the neighbourhood are upgraded from the current level (it has been in that level for over three decades) to the next level by paying the 40 – 50% of the mandatory Public Deposit Fund (Rs 2 lakhs for Higher Secondary upgradation and Rs 1 lakh for High School upgradation).
2. Once the school is upgraded, the trust appoints teachers via the PTA till such time as the govt can appoint teachers.
3. The trust adds school buildings and labs and any neccessary infrastructure that the school needs.
4. The founders are also involved in running a school to impart education in Tamil by a group under the name Thamizh Vazhi Kalvi Pani Arakattalai.
5. The trust has built a small clinic under the banner of Makkal Nala Vazhvu Pani by buying a piece of land. The clinic ensures availability of affordable health care in the village. It also trains people in Primary Health Care.
