Higher Education through scholarship

Updated on: Saturday, March 17, 2012

A scholarship award ceremony was hosted on February 29 by Anant Education Initiative, a CSR initiative of the Infinity Group, in collaboration with Jadavpur University Alumni Association to give away scholarship awards to 128 students belonging to economically weaker sections of the society. The selected students belonged to all disciplines of Jadavpur University from engineering to science and arts.

Despite the growing investments in education the country continues to face challenges in higher education and Anant Education Initiative aims to facilitate the scope of higher education, which will lead the nation to prosperity.

Anant Education Initiative promised to directly disburse the scholarships to zero-balance bank accounts. Its vision is to empower and promote education, eliminate poverty and bring about an all round development of society, irrespective of caste, creed faith or race. Anant Education Initiative targets to support 10,000 students by 2012 thus contributing to a national building process.

An eminent member of the Jadavpur Alumni Association said, “This activity is of great help to needy students of JU. This year our alumni association has disbursed 510 such scholarships across all disciplines.”

The initiative is a great platform to provide support to the students free of cost. Not only will Anant provide scholarships, organize meetings, gatherings and career counselling but also inculcate amongst scholars a sense of giving and contributing.
