Guwahati: The Indus Towers Ltd under its CSR flagship program, Saksham and in partnership with Shishu Sarothi, Assam based NGO, has announced scholarships to 180 students with disability across the North East region.
These scholarships will be given to eligible candidates who are pursuing academics/professional courses at levels ranging from Higher Secondary to Post Graduation or vocational/skill building course.

Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
Support independent journalism. Be a Member.
Thank you,
Karma Paljor

The scholarship will also cover the student’s study materials, assistive equipment and devices, conveyance allowance, and hostel fees to facilitate and motivate them to complete their chosen courses.

Indus’ flagship program Saksham aims to unlock the potential of individuals and their immediate families.
