launched in 2007, Tata Power — DDl’s Ujjwal programme is focusing on SC & ST students, whose economic condition is not conducive for sustaining studies, studying in various Delhi Government schools. During the event, a total of 1100 students from 46 Government Senior Secondary Schools received scholarships in the form of Reference Books, Stationery Items and School Bags. These students are constantly monitored and mentored by the company so that they do not drop out and improve on their educational performance instead.
Addressing the students at the event, Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power — DDl said, “Under our Ujjwal Programme, we focus on four critical areas - education, employment, employability and entrepreneurship with education being the most critical. As a responsible corporate citizen, it is our endeavour to help meritorious students in creating a brighter future through education. Providing scholarships is a step in the same direction and we are confident our efforts will brighten up your future.”
