The Indian Army and the Nehru Sidhant Kendra Trust has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to offer educational scholarships to 100 children of the deceased soldiers of Indian Army every year.
The MoU has been inked between Brigadier HS Kahlon, Directorate of Indian Army Veteran (DIAV) and Bipin Gupta, representing the Nehru Sidhant Kendra Trust.
The preference to give scholarships will be provided to children of primary classes and girl children. Nehru Sidhant Kendra Trust will continue to offer financial support to these children up to class 12.
Under the MoU, the support will be available to the children of soldiers categorised as physical causalities that die in harness and are not covered by any other welfare schemes for education purposes.
With this noble initiative, the Indian Army will extend its reach to support the education of the children of its deceased soldiers in a meaningful manner.
