Like previous years, objective of this initiative is to raise a fund for the financially challenged students who achieved excellent results this year (2013) in S.S.C. examination, with all their financial and social adversaries. We believe that with a little support from all of us, like all our previous year students, they can flourish their talents and develop their full potential.
Our such initiative started four years back. In 2007, with the generous financial support from a lot of kind hearted people staying in different parts of the world, we were able to help 43 students from 12 different districts to continue their college education. In our similar initiative in the years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, we had been able to support 84 students from 14 different districts. You will be glad to know that even with our small amount of financial support, these students made wonderful academic progress over their HSC duration and appeared for the HSC finals in 2009(Batch SSC 2007), 2010(Batch SSC 2008), 2011(Batch SSC 2009), 2012(Batch SSC 2010) and 2013(Batch SSC 2011) respectively. In addition, we are currently supporting 24 students from 8 different districts since 2012. Here is the summary:
SSC Year | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 |
Total Number of Supported Students | 43 | 33 | 12 | 17 | 23 | 24 |
