Education Fund
Another most important activity of the sangh has been
the formation of the education fund. In Karhade Brahman community, most
of the families are in the middle or lower middle class. The huge increase in
the cost of education creates great hardships for deserving students in the
society to go ahead in the educational pursuit. With a view to help such
students financially, the sangh has started the said education fund. The need for starting the education fund
arose in the year 2000 when a couple of members approached the sangh for some
financial help so that their children could complete their higher education.
Members were asked to donate generously towards this fund and all the members
have taken a active part in the fund till date by donating very generously from
time to time. To begin with the corpus of the fund was only Rs.Fifty thousand
but in the years to come the corpus has grown many folds and now the corpus will
achieve its first target of Rs.six lakhs in the year 2006-07. Since 2000 the
fund has given free loan scholarship to needy and deserving students. Our sangh
helped India to get a Architect, a MBA, a graduate from the national school of
drama, an engineer to name a few. Every year 3-4 new students are given the
scholarship in addition to the previous ones. “Well begun is half won”
Students who passed out with flying colors from their respective courses have
started paying back the loan they had taken. Infact, three students have fully
repaid the loan amount they had taken and now are contributing to the fund so
that the others could be benefited from this good act.
A separate working committee has been setup and entrusted the work of this fund. In which the President, the Vice President and three other members are appointed who look after the whole process of obtaining loan scholarships requests and disbursal.
