This repository is used for the development of the website for The Lakshya Foundation. The changes are periodically pushed to the live Web Server.
The Lakshya Foundation is a registerd trust founded by the alumni of NIT Warangal.
Its main aim is to effect a positive change in society by bringing together the students, faculty and alumni
of the institute. Since its inception on 7th June, 2008, it is striving hard to financially help students
coming from poor financial backgrounds. Over the years, Lakshya has moved on from just providing scholarships.

- The Library Project - Providing curriculum & non-curriculum books to students, through book donations.
