1. Resource mobilisation:
During the past 15 years, the Managing Committee has been
keeping for itself an informal annual target of
collection of endowments and donations and constantly
keeping track of the actual against the target each year.
Generally this target has been exceeded.
2. Scaling up of disbursement:
However, grant of this scaled up amount is regrettably meagre as it
meets only a fraction of the actual needs of
students. And yet the League’s support is an encouragement
to those needy students to push further their attempt in
pursuit of higher education to improve the quality of life and become responsible members of the society.
3. Creating
awareness about The League:
The
awareness of the Scholarship League among general public has
been all these years very low because of its low profile. Only the members and donors
know about the extent of the activities of the League. It is
in this direction that the Managing Committee has realized
the need to spread the word about the League and its
activities not only across the country but also beyond its
shores where many of our community reside.
3.1 Print media:
This
campaign to reach out has commenced two years ago, in the
form of written communications to the individuals whose
addresses are with the League. It is planned to reach out to
those spread all over the globe through this website contact,
more through the print media, with the help of
informed and enlightened members of the press by a "write
up" on the League’s activities. This media approach will
include major dailies in English, Marathi, Kannada, Konkani
and other languages. This effort will hopefully spread
awareness of the League, its social objective, present
activities and most important, its ambitious target of yearly disbursement of Rs.50 lakhs(Rs.5
million) free scholarships to the
needy and deserving students in schools and colleges in
India. It is felt that the help from the media will have the
desired results, thus contributing towards the noble
objective of empowering the youth through education.
