Applications are invited for Digital Bharti Covid Scholarship 2021 for Students who lost their Parents. Applications are open on the official website.
The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic has left many children orphaned and vulnerable across India. Countless children have lost both their parents, while many are merely surviving with a single parent, who is not able to support the children financially and emotionally. In most of such cases, the relatives, too, turn indifferent.
These Covid orphans are often left with no support and enormous helplessness. The purpose of Digital Bharati, which is an initiative of PIIndia, is to support those students who have lost both or either of their parents in the current Covid-19 crisis. This project will provide them scholarships so that they can continue their education without any hindrance.
