Our coverage area
From the campus at Malekpore, ATM serves communities across five districts, concentrated in the Tapi river basin and the country around it.
The five districts
- Surat
- Tapi
- Navsari
- Valsad
- Dang
Village-level detail for every district already exists inside the scholarship records, going back to 1971.
District by district
Five districts, one catchment
Boys board on the campus from as far as West Bengal, but the scholarship programme is South Gujarat's.
-
Surat
Where several of the founding members came from, and still the largest share of applications.
-
Tapi
The district Malekpore sits in. The campus, the school, the hostel and the maktab are all here.
-
Navsari
Coastal district to the south-west, reached early in the scholarship programme.
-
Valsad
Southernmost of the five, and home to a long-standing group of donor families.
-
Dang
The forested eastern district, and the hardest to reach — which is why the hostel matters most here.
From 35 to 170+
How the reach grew
What started as groundwork across a handful of neighbouring villages in 1968 now covers most of the region.
The 1968 figure is the founders’ own account of where they began. The current figure is what the scholarship records show today.
