Scholarship Award Program

September 16, 2006

 

Towards building Community Self-Reliance

Scholarship Award Program

October 29th, 2005, Jammu  

Kashmiri Sewak Samaj, Faridabad; Kashmir Educational & Cultural Science Society, Delhi in partnership with SOS Children’s Villages of India in an impressive ceremony distributed Scholarships to 250 Boys and Girls at Jammu today. The Program was held at SOS Children’s Village , Gole Gujral , Jammu. The Boys and Girls are students of Govt. Schools run in various Camps of Jammu and Udhampur. The selection of these Boys and Girls was done based on Merit-cum-means in consultation with the Principals of these Schools. These Boys and Girls have been performing very well inspite of hardships of living in the cramped Camp dwelling units and belong to parents who have extremely low family income. Also, these students have not been recipients of any other financial assistance to support their studies and continue with their pursuit of academic excellence.

The Annual Scholarship program of 2005 was the fourth such event and had some ‘firsts’ to its credit. The Amount of Scholarship was raised to Rs 1500/- per child and the number of recipients was raised to 250. Kashmiri Sewak Samaj was this year joined by KECSS to strengthen the program and add meaning to the existence of our Social Organizations by serving the sections that need us the most.

 Another highlight was that Corporate Sponsorship of Hindustan Lever Limited helped distribution of aid to 14 Govt. Schools for infrastructure improvement. Surveys conducted in Camp Schools had shown that many of these Schools lacked basic Toilette facilities for the Girl Students and this was quite a disturbing scenario for the Community at large.

 Shri Harshdev Singh, Hon’ble Education Minister, J& K Govt., Shri Dharam Vir Batra, President, Vishwa Bharti Educational Society and a Philanthropist of repute, Shri Ashok Aima, Head Faculty of Management Studies were the dignitaries in the program.

Shri J N Kaul in his address exhorted the conscientious members of the Community to make “ Mochefol ta Athroat” a basic creed of life and thereby build self-reliance to take care of those who need help in moments of distress. 

Shri Harsh Dev Singh and Shri Dharam Vir Batra lauded the efforts undertaken and deeply appreciated the efforts of Social Organizations to raise the standards of human life.
