The Ekal Vidyalaya operates on Rs. 16000/- a year. The EVF is able to maintain such a cost because it works with a low overhead budget and is supported by the villagers with whom it works. The Ekal Vidyalaya manages such a budget because it has few capital costs.

A typical schoolroom is the shade of large banyan tree or under the thatch of a village hut. The teachers, trainers, evaluators and other workers work for a minimal honorarium. Teaching materials such as a blackboard, chalk, and poster stands constitute a majority of the costs. Despite the size of the movement, Ekal Vidyalaya is committed to keeping overhead expenses below 10% of its total budget. There are several ways to support the Ekal Vidyalaya concept. You can adopt an Ekal Vidyalaya school for only for Rs. 16000/- per year. This Includes Health Education also. (5 year commitment preferred)
