He was quoted telling IANS, "Every child from a village, who makes it big, carries not only his family but his entire village forward with him. There are so many meritorious and talented young students around us but they are unable to afford higher education and coaching even at a subsidized rate or go to a college of their choice due to financial difficulties.”
"I didn't want such bright students to be neglected because of the geography they come from. My team and I have put together this initiative to help them achieve their dreams so that they can go out there and make a career,” Vivek added.
The scholarship program is launched under the i30 training program, digitization of mathematician Anand Kumar’s Super 30 program.
