Sikh fund for students |
A Sikh gala in the US has raised $250,000 to fund scholarship for financially strapped students in Punjab and neighbouring states. The funds raised at the gala organised by Sikh Human Development Fund would help in providing scholarship to 700 bright students who could not pursue studies due to lack of money. According to Manpreet Singh, a board member of SHDF, 539 scholarships were awarded in 2016.More than 65 per cent of these students are from rural areas of Punjab and more than 74 per cent are female students. This is the 17th year for SHDF.
