As reported in The Tribune on 15th May 2026, sisters Prabhjot Kaur and Veerpal Kaur from Village Rampur Gaura achieved outstanding academic results despite their family suffering severe losses in the August 2025 floods. Prabhjot scored 88.2% in Class 12 and Veerpal secured 88.7% in Class 10.
To encourage them to continue their education, F.C. Sondhi Charitable Trust has awarded scholarships to both girls. While we understand that financial assistance alone cannot solve all the challenges faced by the family, we hope this support provides some encouragement and relief. Subject to satisfactory progress, these scholarships will continue each year for as long as they remain in education.
April - May - June 2026
