Bhubaneswar: JSPL Foundation, the CSR wing of Jindal Steel & Power (JSP), supported scholarships to 508 meritorious girls from weaker sections of society in Odisha and Chhattisgarh to support their vocational training and higher education under its Jindal Swayam Sampanna Nari programme. Shallu Jindal, Chairperson of JSPL Foundation, inaugurated the programme and distributed the scholarship letters to the selected girls in a hybrid ceremony held on Tuesday.

They will be supported with financial assistance towards the course fee and other associated fees for pursuing vocational training or academic courses in professional/general streams in the institutions/colleges of their choice, according to a JSPL release.

The selected students will be supported for their education in various skill development programmes like retail trade, nursing and ANM, beauty therapist, tailoring, computer hardware as well as, academic and professional courses including post-graduate programmes, MPhil, engineering, medical, ITI, law, social work and others in 20 institutions across the two states.

The Foundation shall transfer the amount directly to the institutions in which they are studying.
