About

Welcome to Kind Circle!

Kind Circle is a noble philanthropic initiative by Buddy4Study where community and compassion comes first. We are driven by the belief that kindness can create a remarkable impact in society. We understand the transformative power of kindness and its ability to uplift communities and transform lives.

The Kind Circle platform enables like-minded individuals and organizations to establish their own "Circle of Kindness" with the mission of empowering meritorious and deserving students to continue their education, regardless of financial barriers. We firmly believe that education is the key that unlocks endless possibilities and opens doors to a brighter future. By providing scholarships and support to deserving students, together we can help fulfill their educational aspirations and create a community where kindness thrives and educational opportunities are accessible to all.

Join us in our journey towards building a kinder world, one circle at a time!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Welcome to the Kind Circle FAQ page. Find answers to common questions about creating and managing circles, donor guidelines, and scholar information. This page helps you understand how Kind Circle works and how to use its features to support education.

General Questions about Kind Circle:

Yes. You will be able to appoint:

  • Sub-Kartas – Co-admins who can help review profiles, manage settings, and support decision-making.

  • Managers – Operational support roles for coordination, communication, and follow-ups.

Note: Some of these enhanced administrative features are currently being developed and will be gradually rolled out on the Kind Circle platform.

Yes. Participation is optional. You may join the scholar felicitation, mentorship sessions, or request a telephonic/video interaction. Scholar personal details remain confidential for privacy.

Yes. You may request periodic review calls or customised analysis—such as insights by district, course type, or vulnerability profile—to help refine or scale your scholarship strategy.

Yes. You may run multiple Circles (e.g., a Family Circle, a Memorial Circle, a Community/Alumni Circle). Each Circle will have its own dashboards and reporting, while you retain central administrative access.

Yes. The primary Karta role can be reassigned to a family member, colleague, or core group representative. The Kind Circle team will formally update roles and permissions on the platform.

Yes. Eligibility criteria, preference groups, scholarship amounts, and number of seats can be revised annually. The Kind Circle team will help incorporate the changes smoothly.

The role is meaningful but not time-intensive. Most Kartas spend:

  • A few hours during the first cycle (framework + profile review), and

  • 1–2 hours during key milestones in a year.

  • The Kind Circle team manages all operational work.

You will receive notifications (email and WhatsApp, where enabled) whenever:

  • Verified profiles are ready for review,

  • Final scholar selection is required,

  • Renewal decisions are due, or

  • New reports and updates are published.

If a scholar discontinues studies or becomes ineligible, the remaining unutilised amount returns to your Circle balance. You may decide whether to:

  • Support a replacement scholar,

  • Enhance support for an existing scholar, or

  • Carry the amount forward to the next cycle.

Yes. You may temporarily pause new applications or new intakes while still continuing support for existing scholars (if funds are available). The Circle can be set to “inactive” for new cycles whenever required.

Yes. A single Circle can host multiple initiatives—for example, separate support for school students, UG/PG scholars, or professional courses. Each initiative can have its own budget, criteria, and seat distribution.
