Aashwas Behala Scholarship
Introduction of Aashwas Behala Scholarship Projects
Looking at millions of unfed, unclad, unshod, unhoused children and their helpless parents in our society, a good percentage of school dropouts and even Madhyamick or Higher Secondary passed students being deprived of continuous higher education due to destitution, Aashwas Behala takes few steps in the line of offering monthly Scholarship under Project I, irrespective of caste, creed and gender, to them duly selected through continuous paper & physical examinations, verifications and evaluation under transparent scientific mode of selection processes.
Aashwas Behala has also taken initiatives to stand by the side of a few economically backward students of pre-Madhyamick level in and around the area of greater Behala under Project II monthly stipend programme with full support and encouragement, so that they may continue their studies and remain abstained from being engaged as child labor in one hand and from getting married in case of girl children in particular, before the attainment of eighteen years on the other.
Other Initiatives
Aashwas Behala has also resolved to bear medical expenses, if needed, by the students under project I & II during the entire period of enjoying scholarship. This society also leaves opportunity before them to take tuitions free of cost as and when necessary.
