  4. Most Valuable Feedback

    Does Nirav Modi Foundation provide scholarship to student who has excellent marks but is also rich? Nirav Modi Foundation should definitely make a home visit before giving scholarship, because I know someone who is rich and still got scholarship from Nirav Modi based on his performance because they did not make home visit. Students lie to get scholarship and student whose financial condition is poor and good in academics is left behind. Hope this feedback reaches Nirav Modi Foundation.
