Where none was, there now exists...

Generation OM aims to provide fellowships to American Hindu students undertaking undergraduate degrees and to guide them in following the Hindu religion. We raise funds to finance these fellowships.

We hope to create long lasting partnerships with the students and and encourage them to become Youth Ambassadors and role models to their fellow Hindu community members.

Mission

The Generation OM Mission Statement is based on the quote from Winston Churchill on our front page:
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

History

Generation OM was founded in 2007 by Pardeep K. Vedi and Amardeep Vedi. While searching for undergraduate fellowships with his two children who were attending Florida universities, he noticed that while there were fellowships for various religious, faith based and ethnic groups, there were none specifically for the American Hindu students. After discussion with his children (Nisha Vedi thought of the name of the Corporation, and Amardeep Vedi designed the Generation OM logo and assisted with the website development) and encouragement and assurance from his wife, Generation OM was born out of the need to support our American Hindu students.

Funding

Generation OM is entirely managed and administered via volunteer effort and is largely funded by individual contributions. Donated funds are carefully monitored and disbursed with full transparency and accountability. Donations will be solicited from family, friends, well-wishers, and local businesses.
