S R Jindal Scholarship Scheme for Destitute Children :
Sitaram Jindal Foundation is currently giving scholarships to about 12000 students with the following objectives :
** To enable poor students to continue their studies.

** To encourage meritorious students to do still better.
These objectives are achieved to a large extent and the existing scholarship scheme will be continued.
There are still a very large number of destitute children and those belonging to extremely poor families who are not able to go to school since they have to work to augment their family income by doing physical work. There is a need to provide an opportunity to study for such children by giving scholarship which will augment the family income and allow the child to get educated.
Objective – For inclusive growth in education and to provide opportunity to those denied educational facilities so far.
Rationale – Street children, homeless children, orphans (outside orphanages), dropouts and other children in the poorest of poor of BPL families are either not able to go to school at all or dropout after studying for a few years. This is regardless of the fact that most states provide free education with free books, uniform and midday meals to such children. An important reason for such children not going to school is that such children are a source of income for the family either by begging in bigger towns and cities or by doing petty manual works.
Unless this financial need of such children and more so of their families in case of poorest of poor BPL families are met, such children will never be able to join the school for study.
Financial needs of the family or the compensation for the loss of income of the family because of the child going to school would have to be taken care of to ensure that such children join the school. This scholarship will be in the nature of helping the family to compensate the loss of wages of such children.
Scholarship will be given as Attendance Incentive AT Rs. 10/- per day of actual attendance for boys and AT Rs 12/- per day of actual attendance for girls.
Upto 1000 Children would be admitted in the scheme in the first year. The admission of the destitute children will be only from I std to X Std.
A Savings bank account will be opened with the first scholarship in the name of child and the mother or father if mother is not alive, or in the name of the child and the legal guardian if neither of the parents is alive.
