Mangalore: The CASK Centenary Trust distributed Scholarships worth over Rs 30 Lakhs to 307 deserving students on Saturday, July 19, at the Centenary Block, St Agnes College.
The programme was presided over by Bishop Peter Paul Saldanha. Mr Michael D'Souza, NRI philanthropist, and Sr Venissa, Principal St Agnes College were the Guests of Honour. The programme was attended by the Scholarship awardees, their parents and the donors and benefactors of CASK Centenary Trust.
Since 2014, The CASK Centenary Trust has been reaching out to all with empathy, particularly to those in distress and on the margin of society through initiatives in the field of education, health care, shelter support, counselling and preservation of the Environment. The Trust wishes to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change strengthening communities and improving the lives of those we reach out.
The CASK Centenary Trust is guided by its motto in Sanskrit, JEEVITHAM PREMAYA, which means LIFE FOR LOVE. The CCT Scholarship Programme is an act of love to the needy students without any consideration to religion, language, marks or merit. The only consideration being the economic condition of the applicant – whether the student belongs to a marginalized or distressed family. Among the beneficiaries were children, of daily wage earners such as street vendors, labourers and auto rickshaw drivers. Many children had lost either their father or mother and many parents were unemployed too.
The CCT Scholarship Programme aims at motivating the beneficiaries to work hard and give their best in securing a good education that will help them to stand proudly on their feet someday, in the service of their family, our community and the Nation.
Of the 307 beneficiaries, 162 were girls and almost 40 percent are from rural areas. These students hail from over 70 different institutions and include school and college students besides several from professional streams including Nursing, Engineering and para-medical courses too.
