Family Assistance Project
The Scholarship Program is focused entirely on educational activities, and for imparting knowledge to the ones in need and who would like to live the life of dignity.
Under this project, Nishkam aims to provide family assistance to the following needy categories:
- Senior Citizens;
- Needy widows and orphans;
- Persons with disabilities;
- Divorcee girls/mothers;
- Families with no source of income for whatever reasons
As part of the process, Nishkam obtains the application of the needy family. The Nishkam team verifies the application and after that, the case is considered to be approved by a Committee of Sewadars.
The Committee approves each case only after studying the case in detail and very closely observing the facts and history for each
