A Scholarship Program for Bengaluru South An Initiative of TEJASVI SURYA Member of Parliament, Bengaluru South BEST Bengaluru South Education & Social Transformation NaMo VIDHYANIDHI 10,000 students in Bengaluru South Rs 10,001 Scholarship Award 5 years maximum period Children of Bengaluru South fare poorly in the SSLC exams. Lack of understanding of basic concepts, substandard teaching coupled with exam pressure and lack of personal attention have all led to more than 15,000 students failing the Class 10 exams in Bengaluru South District every year. Children dropping out at Class 10 do not return to the system again. Honourable MP of Bengaluru South, Sri Tejasvi Surya, wants to change this. He has adopted a multi-faceted approach to tackling the problem by guaranteeing access to quality education, incentives for good performance and personal mentoring by experts. The NaMo scholarship programme, part of the Bengaluru South Education and Social Transformation (BEST) project, will grant 10,000 scholarships to 10,000 underprivileged children at the cost of a maximum of Rs 10,001 each, paid directly to the respective schools.
