THE BACKGROUND
An extremely large percentage of India's population is uneducated. Marginalized communities, underprivileged sections of the society and millions reeling under poverty cannot afford basic education for their children. Even if they can, it is simply not a priority when families are grappling with even basic worries such as two square meals a day and a roof under which to sleep. Education, in that case, becomes a luxury, not a necessity.
There is an urgent need to provide scholarships to help students pursue their higher studies after Grade 10/ 12 in and around Maharashtra. Their continuation of education through college is very critical for them to be able to break the cycle of poverty and make career choices for themselves.
THE SOLUTION
The Rotary Club of Mulund offers scholarships to students from underprivileged backgrounds to bridge this gap once students complete Grade 10/ 12. This will help these students in leading empowered lives by providing them with scholarships, guidance and motivational support.
Students will find jobs and help bring their families out of poverty. Rotary Club of Mulund scrutinises all the applications received to ensure that the right students receive scholarships. Electricity bills are used to check their financial status.
Scholarships are provided to the deserving students, who have secured admission/ studying any Vocational Course. These include Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Hotel Management, Animation and many more. Scholarships for diploma courses after Grade 10 are also provided.
Students sign an undertaking stating that they will repay the scholarship amount once they secure jobs. This will help more students benefit in the future.
For example, if you fund:
INR 12500, you impact a student for 3 months.
INR 25000, you impact a student for 6 months.
INR 50000, you impact a student for a year.
INR 100000, you impact a student for 2 years.
All funding has 80G benefits.
Being a Rotary Club Project, all the administrative costs are borne by the Club and the Members. Therefore except Bank Charges, there is no other overhead on the Project Funds. Your donation is fully utilized for helping the selected students.
Annual Report of the project is published every year and shared with all the donors. All annual reports till date, available on our website.
GLIMPSES FROM THE YEARLY GET TOGETHER
Every year the Rotary Club of Mulund conducts a get-together for scholarship students. This provides networking opportunities and helps students learn from each other's experiences.
THE IMPACT YOU CAN MAKE
ABOUT ME
My name is Rtn. ASHWIN MALDE.
In our country, not everyone is privileged to get a decent education. For marginalized communities providing 3 square meals a day is difficult. Education and attending college are hence considered a luxury. Most of their parents are daily wage earners, meaning they live by the day. We take most things for granted whereas these children don't have access to basic amenities.
It is very important that we lend a helping hand to these students as it will help them study, secure jobs and bring their families out of poverty. Some of them also need career guidance and motivation. It's astonishing how much INR 50000 can impact an underprivileged student for a year.
Please do support my campaign and let us together help build a secure tomorrow through education by assisting this scholarship program.
