Kolkata, July 10 (IBNS): Radio Jockey (RJ)-turned actor, singer Mir on last Saturday launched a short film and a website- Tiyashar Khoj- as a tribute to a taxi driver's daughter's quest to become a doctor.

Tiyasha was a student of Pace IIT and Medical, a tutorial in the city. The film has been made by Pace.

Pace also has launched a website called www.tiyasarkhoj.com for similar aspirants like Tiyasha.

Speaking on the occasion, Rohit Agarwal, Director of Pace Kolkata, said: “Pace Kolkata is very proud of our student Tiyasha who has inspired us to launch the #TiyasarKhoj initiative where we will give 1 cr of scholarships in next one month.

"We will not only be sponsoring her entire medical college fee , but 40 more Class 11 students like her. We will take care of their complete preparation for their engineering or medical entrance exams for the next 2 years"

The website has been launched to inspire thousands of other girls and boys to dream to become what they want.

The entire initiative is rooted in the socio-economic fabric of West Bengal and aims to invite participation from the people of the state to come forward and nominate someone they know who deserves higher education.

Once nominated, the candidate will be verified and if found deserving, they will get full support from Pace for their coaching fee and in some special cases, their engineering and medical college fee.
