Aakash+BYJU’S pays homage to defence forces

Chandigarh, March 1,2022: As part of its efforts to give back to the society, Aakash+BYJU’S, the national leader in test preparatory services, continued its tradition of facilitating education of wards of Defence Personnel in its endeavour to salute and thank the selfless service of the Armed Forces of the Nation. Taking the 8-year-old tradition ahead, Aakash+BYJU’S announced the continuation of the 100% tuition fee waiver for children of Martyr’s for the next academic calendar starting March 2022. Apart from this, the 10% scholarships for wards of Defence Personnel and those affected by terrorism will also continue for the upcoming year. Since 2014, the scholarship programme has benefitted more than 70,000 students. Major General IP Singh, VSM (Retd.), Indian Army, graced the ceremony as the Chief Guest in the presence of Mr Parmeshwar Jha, Regional Director, Aakash+BYJUS’S.

On the occasion, Major General IP Singh said “The brave men and women of the Armed forces should always be honored for their sacrifice. They risk their lives to protect the citizens' freedom, it is a selfless act of valor that is done without asking for anything in return. Many of them have had to sacrifice their lives  so the rest of the people can live in a free and prosperous society. I feel honored to be a part of this thoughtful initiative by Aakash+BYJU’S and give my best wishes! We are grateful for the financial support that Aakash+BYJU’S has been providing to wards of defence personnel.”
