P.C. Chandra Group hosts scholarship programme for underprivileged students
The scholarship ceremony was attended by actor Deb Shankar Halder and actress Aparajita Adhya.
Under this scholarship programme, the group handed over the cheque of Rs. 1,20,000 for two years out of which the five thousand rupees for the month of June had already been credited in the bank accounts of the students for admission and buying books.
Deb Shankar Halder said: “I feel thankful to be present here with you people."
Actor Aparajita Adhya said that she could find supreme power in the students.
Recounting her own experience in life, she told students: “Never lose track while you are fighting.”
She also referred education as an 'intellectual exercise.'
Aparajita further said: “Poverty is not a shame. It is a fire which can burn and make pure gold like you and I respect P.C. Chandra for giving them such a recognition.”
There were fifteen students from different districts of West Bengal to take part in the scholarship programme.
