DECEMBER 2013
Dear Sponsors,
We are at the fagend of the year 2013 and are looking forward to greet the year
2014. Indian Students Educational Aid Foundation sends warm greetings to all our
sponsors, well wishers, and patrons and wishes them all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
This academic year 2013-14, 151 students completed their education. We
received 472 applications for scholarship this year. After scrutinizing all these
applications and conducting personal interviews 125 students were given
scholarships this year. More than fifty students are kept in the waiting list
www.iseaf-info.org.
It will be very much appreciated if you can
recommend to your friends and associates to visit this website so that some of our
students may get some sponsors and it will enable them to complete their education.
First step of the new building of “Indo German Techno Centre” is ready for
occupation. Since it is close to Mapusa city we will get more students and it will be
easy to get teaching faculties. Due to government’s new policy, materials for the
construction are not available and the cost of construction has increased a lot.
However we intent to complete the remaining portion of the ground floor as early as
possible.
Our Home Nursing Bureau is functioning very well. All the students who
were being educated are working. This inspired us to start a placement bureau for
1
the students who are being educated in other trades. A placement bureau was
inaugurated on 28th September 2013 at the hands of Mr. Laxmikant Parsekar, Hon.
Minister of health, Govt. of Goa. Around 200 students registered in this bureau. We
will be organizing campus interviews for these students so that the firms who need
manpower can recruit them personally from the campus.
I do get queries from some sponsors. They read that Indian economy is
growing fast. If that is the case do your students need help? So I thought of writing
about it to clear all doubts. It is true that Indian economy is boosting. But
unfortunately it benefits only the rich people. All the leading motor vehicles in the
world are available in India. These privileged classes have all luxuries. But the poor
people struggle. The inflation hits them very badly. Many of them even find it
difficult to have full meals. They have a miserable life. We are working for such
people and try to educate them and place them in a comfortable position in the
society.
We are pleased to answer all the queries from our sponsors about their
students or about our organisation. So you are free to ask more & more questions
and we will give you all the required information’s. We humbly admit that this
organisation is functioning only because of your patronage, help and morale support.
Please find enclosed few stories of successful students who received
scholarship from ISEAF. We also enclosed some interesting stories of students who
completed their education from our technical institutes.
Yours Sincerely
