Since all the students from Samiti hostels come from poor families, Samiti has developed a network of well wisher individuals and commercial organizations that provide part-time work to the students. The work ranges from gardening, tuitions, helping elder citizens, office work to household work. Some students earn sizable income from big events held in Pune, such as Exhibitions, Cultural activities, annual Pune marathon, Ganapati festival, drama festival, etc. Earnings under this scheme substantially reduce the financial burden on the students’ parents.
