Scholarship Program
The Karna scholarship owes its origin to the vision of sons and daughters of Indian soil, who want to recognize and award all round excellence to students of the Indian school system.
The idea is to encourage individuals showing all round excellence. It is not meant to address or reward the "book-worms" or provide preferential treatment on extraneous considerations.
The scholarships are long-term investment in the future of India. The students selected would be expected to emerge as leaders in their respective fields and contribute to building a progressive, modern and dynamic India, moving with confidence in the new millennium.
The founders and the funders expect to enthuse a spirit of volunteerism amongst the new generation and establish t he concept of energized private action to address the socio-economic needs of the country.
