Every year, SBI Foundation Youth for India calls for applications from aspiring and meritorious gradates and post-graduates from various background of professional education, who wants to contribute to the betterment of rural communities through SBI Foundation fellowship.
The meritorious youths are elected under this fellowship, and also youths get a platform to serving and helping the rural communities, said Nixon Joseph interacting with APG Shimla University and Venkateshwara Open University students. Nixon Joseph said that disabled persons can get this opportunity from this platform to increase their confidence inside them to live better and help rural areas through their talent. Joseph told that any education institution, organization, NGO can as partner under this fellowship platform. Even today, the development of rural areas are ignored by the governments, institutions and organization mostly in developing country and India, while real India dwells in its rural pockets, said Joseph. He said that fact remains that the majority of human communities in India are still without the most basic of amenities such as water supply, power supply, roads, education, and health facility.
“SBI Youth for India Fellows come from such diverse backgrounds, but somehow when they all meet each other; a common thread binds them all. I believe that is the power of this platform of SBI Foundation fellowship. It creates a space for like-minded people who believe if you truly have faith, change will happen but your soar should not have a boundary”, said Nixon Joseph while motivated the students to attain SBI Foundation fellowship.
