** On the occasion of the Birth Centennial of Mohan T Advani in 2012, his family decided to pursue this cause close to his heart in the fields of engineering and architecture which are aligned to Blue Star businesses so that the Company can offer support beyond the monetary contribution. They made contributions which formed the seed money for Mohan T Advani Centennial Scholarships.
** Instituted formally in 2013, The Mohan T Advani Centennial Scholarships by Blue Star Foundation, started out with 9 students, which has now grown to rendering financial assistance to 30 undergraduate Mechanical (Production)/ Electrical/ Electronics engineering and architectural students studying in Government recognised colleges.
** The scholarship beneficiaries are selected objectively on the criteria of merit and socio-economic background by an internal board comprising BSF and senior HR officials from the Company.
** Besides sponsoring tuition fees and hostel fees (wherever applicable), the initiative provides holistic support for these students, inclusive of mentorships by senior Blue Star officials and internships to prepare them for future work life.
** The scholarship helps the children to dedicate their energy to their first responsibility as students towards academic goals, relieving them and their families from the burden of taking loans as well as the stress of managing finances required to procure a professional degree and better their future.
