Dimapur, August 17 (MExN): Leading telecom tower infrastructure provider, Bharti Infratel today awarded scholarships to 127 differently abled students from eight Northeastern States.
The recognition of selected differently abled students with 'Bharti Infratel Scholarship Program' is a result of Bharti Infratel’s partnership with Shishu Sarothi, a non-profit organization based in Assam which was announced earlier in March this year, a press note informed.
The primary objective of the Program is to provide financial support and aid the differently abled students for pursuing professional or technical education in order to get them employment ready and self-reliant, it added.
The scholarship program is designed to benefit students across all eight states of the Northeast viz: Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura and Meghalaya.
Announcing the scholarship, D S Rawat, MD & CEO, Bharti Infratel Limited, said, “I am hopeful that this program will benefit deserving students in a great way. I wish each one of these students the very best in realizing their ambitions.”
Bharti Infratel also supports ‘Bharti Foundation’ in providing free and quality education to underprivileged children in rural India through the ‘Satya Bharti School Program’ and improving the rural sanitation in Punjab under the ‘Satya Bharti Abhiyan’ which develops sanitation facilities in Government schools by building toilets for girls, it said.
