DHANPATMAL VIRMANI EDUCATION TRUST & MANAGEMENT SOCIETY
R.N. VIRMANI MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT under the title “Providing Scholarship for Graduate Studies in India (Project No. 1066)”.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. THE COST OF EDUCATION BEING SO EXPENSIVE, MANY STUDENTS AND PARENTS HAVE TO TAKE OUT LOANS TO PAY FOR COLLEGE. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE A GREAT WAY TO COVER PART OF OR SOMETIMES EVEN ALL OF THE COST OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION.
“EDUCATION IS THE RIGHT OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL.”
The Virmani Trust started the R.N. Virmani Memorial Endowment in the year 2002-2003, to award scholarships to Indian Nationals for graduate studies in all fields, irrespective of caste, creed or community. The main aim was to encourage and help the needy students from low income families to persue higher studies in Colleges/Universities in India.
The R.N. Virmani Scholarships have helped students from the disadvantaged section of society to become Doctors, Chartered Accountants, Engineers and Advocates. The students have been able to achieve the highest levels in their field.
“THE VIRMANI TRUST IS WORKING FOR A LIFE OF DIGNITY & SELF RELIANCE FOR THE DISADVANTAGED”.
The Virmani Trust is a non- profit making organization, managing two schools, Women Literacy Centers and providing Scholarships to the needy meritorious students for their secure future. Preference is given to students getting admission in Professional/Technical Colleges i.e. Medical, Engineering/Technology and Management Institutions. Parents encourage students to get the scholarships and study for higher education.
CASE STUDY
One of the beneficiary passed out from Dhanpatmal Virmani Sr. Sec. School in 2009 with Ist Division in Class XII. He came from a poor family with annual income of Rs. 1,00,000. He was given a Scholarship for studying in B.com course.
He is today a qualified Chartered Accountant and earning Rs. 40,000/- per month.
The Scholarship scheme has been very successfully implemented with the formation of a permanent corpus. We have received a total of Rs. 5.9 Million ($84,334) as contribution up 20.09.2014 which has been invested in Government of India Bonds and Banks. From the interest accruing from this corpus, the scholarship amount is given to the awardees. Our aim is to increase this corpus to Rs. ($3,33,334) to enable us to award more scholarships.
Many Thanks
