Pune, India – The Someshwar Foundation is all set to commemorate the first Memorial Day of the late former Kaarya Samrat MLA, Vinayak Nimhan, by presenting the ‘Gaurav Scholarships’ to deserving and underprivileged students. This event is scheduled to take place on October 26th at the Balgandharva Rangmandir in Pune.
The ‘Gaurav Scholarships’ are a tribute to the memory of Vinayak Nimhan and are dedicated to providing financial support to students whose parents face economic hardships. The scholarships aim to ensure that the educational aspirations of these young individuals are not compromised by financial constraints.
Distinguished individuals who will be presenting these scholarships include notable figures in the education and political sectors. Among them are Dr. S.B. Mujumdar, Founder President of Symbiosis Institute; Dr. Suresh Gosavi, Vice-Chancellor of Savitribai Phule Pune University; Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar; Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar; Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Girish Mahajan; and Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, to name a few.
This special event is expected to be attended by prominent figures such as Shiv Sena Pune District Liaison Chief Sachin Ahir, MLAs Prasad Lad, Siddharth Shirole, Atul Benke, Satyajit Tambe, Former Mayor Muralidhar Mohol, BJP City President Dheeraj Ghate, Divisional Commissioner Saurabh Rao, PMC Commissioner Vikram Kumar, and more.
The ‘Gaurav Scholarships’ have been thoughtfully designed to offer support to students who, while participating in scholarship examinations in Class V and VIII, narrowly missed the qualifying mark. Meritorious students pursuing degree and diploma programs have been selected based on a combination of factors including financial need, academic performance, and interviews.
This initiative, named after the late Vinayak Nimhan, is in line with his unwavering commitment to improving healthcare and education for the common people. The Someshwar Foundation, which has been actively supporting students through various programs for the past 25 years, continues its legacy of empowering the youth of Pune through initiatives such as lectures, student felicitation ceremonies, and the distribution of school materials.
Sunny Nimhan, a former corporator and the convenor of the ‘Vinayaki’ Vinayak Nimhan Scholarship, provided this information, underscoring the enduring dedication to the educational empowerment of students in Pune.
