College Level Scholarships
OBJECTIVE
We support bright students from underprivileged families so that they become self-reliant leaders of tomorrow while pursuing professional level courses in colleges, universities and in polytechnics. We also nurture them in career- building workshops as well.
Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish; you feed him for life. – Lao Tzu. Nishkam since its inception believes in the power of education. We give financial aid to poor and needy but promising students to help them fulfil their educational aspirations and secure a bright future.
However our efforts expand beyond monetary assistance, we also conduct workshops for the beneficiaries that facilitate overall personality development. These sessions on Spoken English, Communication Skills and Interview Skills aim at providing the students with soft skills that will allow them to confidently face Job Interviews and convert their education into employability.
