F.C. Sondhi Charitable Trust has been giving scholarships for the last 40 years or so. First we used to offer scholarships to all school going children, but then realized that cost of education in lower classes is nominal. We now entertain applications from 9th class to M.A.

 

Each application is verified by a visit to the home of the student, to confirm the facts entered on the fairly comprehensive application form. Our aim is to help all genuine cases who come to us.

Many of our scholarships are sponsored by donors. We have policy, that every paisa of donated money will be issued for the scholarship, and all administration costs will be borne by the Trust.

Grants to The Needy

​

There are surprisingly, even in India where the joint family prevails, many elderly ladies and even a few elderly gentlemen who have absolutely no income and very little support. Their families have deserted them and they do not have the capacity to work any longer. Most of these people are over the age of 60. If you would like to adopt an elderly person, please send your contributions in multiples of Rs. 10,200/- or Rs. 12,000/- for one year, Rs. 20,400/- or Rs. 24,000/- for two years and so on.

​

After starting the scholarship scheme, it came to our notice that widows faced many problems. A scheme was started to give grants to widows. Our aim is to help elderly widows and other destitute people and we are giving financial aid of Rs. 850/- or Rs. 1,000/- per month at present. Since the beneficiaries are quite aged, we have devised a scheme so that they receive their grant at their doorsteps.

 

 

Total number of beneficiaries 421, which include old age, widow/widower and physically challenged beneficiaries in financial year 2025-26.
