Mangalaru: Educare disburses nearly Rs 5 crore to deserving students


Media Release

Mangaluru, Nov 5: Educare Trust, founded by a Mangalorean NRI based in Dubai, has accomplished a commendable feat by disbursing educational funds to the tune of nearly Rs 5 crore to deserving students in 2013 and 2014.

In 2013, Rs 1,78,20,000 was disbursed to 543 students, and in 2014, Rs 3,20,10,300 was given to 858 students, out of which 518 were fresh applicants and the rest renewers. In all, 1,401 students received a total of Rs 4,98,30,300 during 2013 and 2014. The funds were disbursed to both male and female students pursuing different streams including professional courses.

Educare Trust was inaugurated at CODP in 2013 by Bishop Aloysius Paul D'Souza. During the inaugural ceremony, the bishop had said, "It (Educare) is God given opportunity for poor Catholic students of Mangalore and Udupi dioceses to pursue their dreams." He appreciated the generous donor of Educare for his philanthropic initiative.

Fr Oswald Monteiro, the secretary of CODP is full of praise for Educare trustee, whom he considers a true follower of Christ. "When we see other donors crave for publicity and honor, here is a donor, he says who wants to be hidden and nontrumpeting. This is best example of how true Christian charity should be."





















 

About the donor

The managing trustee of Educare trust is a successful Mangalorean Catholic NRI businessman based in Dubai. He has opted to be anonymous following Christian spirit - 'what your right hand does should not be known by left hand'.

The main intention of the donor is to reach out to the poor and needy students. Education is the foundation of development. Education brings about all round development of a person. However, he is not content with mediocrity from students but expects hard work and excellency.

Educare trust has agreed to make available a sum of Rs 25 crore as a revolving fund. This is a refundable interest-free loan which is to be repaid within 18 to 24 months after completion of studies.

    As Chinese proverb says: "“If you are planning for a year, sow rice if you are planning for a decade, plant trees if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people”, the Educare donor is doing the right job. As you remain hidden behind the screen, yet work will bear abundant fruits and God who sees everything done in secret, surely reward you in two fold. Congratulations!!! Continue the good work which you have began.

    Very good gesture by this noble gentleman.When it comes to catholics any Govt. be it Congress or BJP are very lethargic to extend support for any cause. Thare are many catholics who are deprived of good education despite being excellent in studies mainly due to lack of finance. I thank this gentleman with my whole heartedness for extending full support for promoting education among catholics.May God bless him 100 times or even more for his generosity. I can understand the importance of this cause as i was myself deprived of good education despite being good in studies.

    only two comments for the donor of 5 crore for education for the needy...
    for illegal cow slaughter, moral policing numerous comments...
    that's why politicians keep this sensationalizing unimportant issues to play politics on the emotions of naive and ignorant people..
    hats off to the donor.. may god bless him abundantly.
