Criteria for 2024: 80% or more marks in school annual examination

ISHWAR MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS: ISHWAR has constituted merit scholarships for meritorious children attending the non-formal education programme. This time the criteria was 80 percent or more marks in school final examinations. These scholarships are given to encourage the children to work harder and also to ease the financial burden on them when they finish school and enter college. Many of our children have also taken admission in professional courses, such as engineering, pharmacy, computer science etc., in reputed colleges.   

Emergency Funds: ISHWAR provided financial assistance to a young boy suffering from serious cardiac malformations, being treated at AIIMS, New Delhi. The family was staying in a Ran Basera (temporary shelter) outside the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi and had exhausted all their money on the lengthy treatment of their son Ankit Kumar. With no income since 2020 due to the Covid Pandemic, their situation was precarious. This family was noticed by ISHWAR’s President Mrs Anju Sachdev, and after necessary verifications, ISHWAR gave them emergency funds to tide over their crises.

ASIAN TSUNAMI (DEC 2004): After the devastating Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, ISHWAR embarked upon an ambitious plan of long-term educational support for orphaned children of Katchal region of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, where more than 5000 people perished including school teachers, leaving the future of these children uncertain. ISHWAR ‘adopted’ 15 children were lodged as boarders at the Bahai Secondary School, Tadong, Sikkim.  ISHWAR’s General Secretary, Anupam Kamal was designated Guardian to the children and supported the children before handing over the project to another NGO, after exhausting funds.
