Education & Welfare Sector
Brief Industry Introduction
India’s education and welfare sector is rapidly expanding, with growing demand for schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres, and welfare organizations. With initiatives like NEP 2020 and rising private sector participation, the industry holds massive growth potential. However, educational institutions face challenges like regulatory approvals, tax exemptions, funding issues, and compliance with multiple laws.
At Mangesh Kadam & Associates, we provide end-to-end solutions to schools, universities, welfare organizations, and educational trusts, enabling them to remain compliant, financially strong, and growth-focused.
Key Challenges & How We Help
Regulatory Approvals & Compliance
Challenge
Educational institutions must obtain approvals from boards, universities, and regulatory bodies like AICTE/UGC. Non-compliance can impact recognition and funding.
Our Role
We provide support for compliance with regulatory authorities. Our services ensure institutions remain recognized and legally compliant.
Funding & Project Financing
Challenge
Establishing or expanding institutions requires significant capital investment in infrastructure, faculty, and facilities. Delays in funding can affect growth.
Our Role
We prepare project reports, feasibility studies, and assist in raising funds through banks, CSR contributions, and structured financing.
Income Tax & Exemption Compliance
Challenge
Educational trusts and welfare institutions often claim exemptions under Section 10, 12A, or 80G. Incorrect compliance or fund utilization may result in denial of benefits.
Our Role
We manage exemption registrations, income tax filings, and advisory for maintaining compliance. Our solutions safeguard tax-exempt status.
Cost & Revenue Management
Challenge
Rising infrastructure costs, staff salaries, and operational expenses impact profitability of private institutions. Weak cost tracking reduces efficiency.
Our Role
We implement costing frameworks, conduct audits, and provide MIS reporting for performance improvement.
Statutory Reporting & Governance
Challenge
Educational institutions must comply with multiple regulations including labour laws, trust laws, and income tax provisions. Weak governance creates risks of penalties and reputational damage.
Our Role
We provide statutory audits, labour law reviews, and compliance monitoring. Our structured governance frameworks enhance accountability.
Risk Management & Transparency
Challenge
Misuse of funds, lack of SOPs, and inadequate reporting weaken stakeholder trust. Such gaps create compliance risks and reduce credibility with donors and regulators.
Our Role
We design internal control systems, establish SOPs, and perform risk-based audits. Our frameworks improve transparency and stakeholder confidence.
