Care and Share International Foundation, along with MGM Group, that runs 27 educational institutions, will ensure the higher education of bright students who are unable to pursue it owing to various reasons such as financial backwardness, death of parents or serious illnesses such as cancer in the family.
Under Vidyamritham-5, 250 students will be chosen this year on the basis of their marks in the SSLC and higher secondary exams. In addition to this, another 200 students will be given admission in various CBSE schools of MGM through the project. According to the foundation’s chairman K Muraleedharan, students selected as part of the project can pursue various courses in MGM’s engineering, polytechnic and pharmacy colleges.
