New Delhi, Mar 18 (IBNS) Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh distributed about 300 scholarship cheques to the school going children of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) personnel who sacrificed their lives in the service of the nation.

Rajnath Singh said that he had a long pending desire to do something for the families of the jawans and when he met S.D. Shibulal, Co-founder and former CEO, Infosys Limited last year, they discussed the possibilities in this regard.

The Home Minister felt extremely happy when  Shibulal extended the help of Sarojini Damodaran Foundation (SDF) which identifies students in need of financial assistance during schooling.

The Union Home Minister appealed to the corporate world to join hands in assisting the families of Police, CAPFs and Defence personnel.

Rajnath Singh said though the amount is meagre but it is a good beginning and he will ensure to increase it.

Rajnath Singh mentioned that these small children are like flowers who will bloom in due course.

Rajnath Singh said that no help could be better than that of education or ‘Vidyadhan’ as it is mahadhan and it will help these children to perform better in their lives.

The Home Minister said that it is not obligation but our duty to assist the families as our jawans leave no stone unturned for the security of the country even by sacrificing their lives.
