NRI Says Education is Key: Grants Awards to Students
Mrs Gurminder Randhawa (pictured) is originally from Gujjarwal village but is now settled in the UK. She has introduced three awards of Rs 5000/- each for the Govind National College, Narangwal college students in her Grandfather and his brother's names, and a scholarship of Rs. 5000 in her father's name (Late. S. Harnek Singh Grewal) to contribute to fees for students who otherwise would be denied education due to poverty.
Jassi said “I am always heartened to see gestures like this. Such awards are much-needed encouragement to our youth to pursue their studies. I hope that more NRIs follow Mrs Randhawa’s lead in this manner. Mrs Randhawa did not wish her assistance to be publicised, but I asked her to allow me to feature it so that others may be inspired. The sums do not have to be enormous – even a little can make a lot of difference. We have also been delighted to be able to help Mrs Randhawa get the grants to the students through LifeBuilder.”
Jassi encourages other NRIs to support education in schools in their native villages to encourage achievement. He also said that supporting education for those from disadvantaged families was a key area in which NRIs could help. |
