Dr. Baljit Kaur further said that Aryans Group has opened the door for students who belong to backward regions like Malout, Abohar, Muktsar etc. to study in Chandigarh. “I am happy to mention that Aryans Group has visited my constituency and my surrounding areas to guide and aware the students towards job oriented programs on a scholarship basis. Earlier also I have attended scholarship event of Aryans,” mentioned Dr. Baljit Kaur.

Bhura Ram said that it’s the dream of every student to study in Chandigarh, who belong to the border area of Abohar, Fazilka etc. “But due to lack of money the students cannot afford the high fee structure of many educational institutions.

I am thankful for the initiative of Chairman, Aryans Group.”

Around 50 eligible students were selected under the SC / ST Scholarship Scheme. After getting the scholarship letters, the students said that they are thankful to Aryans Group for doing virtuous work by giving admission under Scholarship Scheme on zero-fee basis. The students assured that they will illuminate not only their parents but also the name of Aryans in academics.
