The brand has reaffirmed its commitment to differently-abled students, with plans to expand to more states across India
Chennai, November 2024: Cycle Pure Agarbathi, India’s leading agarbathi manufacturer, has reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to the education of differently abled students through their scholarship program, for the third consecutive year. Launched in 2022, the organisation has extended its support to the program, where 40 differently abled students were provided with financial assistance worth Rs. 10 Lakhs in Tamil Nadu, enabling them to pursue their education and unlock their potential.
The scholarship program, aimed at girls aged 12 to 17 years old, offers financial support to underprivileged students, helping them overcome barriers to education. The program was launched in Chennai, following significant impact made from 1988, through the Ranga Rao Memorial School for Differently Abled (RMSD), a free residential school in Mysuru for visually challenged girls. School has provided a platform for young girls to continue their studies, develop essential life skills, and build a brighter future.
At an event held at Society for Rights of All Women with Disabilities, Srinivasa Gandhi Nilayam in the city, 40 scholarships were given away by Mrs. Jannavi Murthy, Creative Perfumer, Cycle Pure Agarbathi, to deserving girls in the presence of their parents.
Building on the success of Ranga Rao Memorial School for Differently Abled in Mysuru and the scholarship program in Chennai, Cycle Pure Agarbathi aims to expand the program for differently-abled children in other states across India, to offer students a chance to succeed in both academics and life.
Mr. Arjun Ranga, Managing Director of Cycle Pure Agarbathi, said: “We believe that every child, regardless of their abilities, deserves an opportunity to reach their full potential. By supporting these talented young girls, we hope to inspire them to dream big and achieve their goals. We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those who need it most. Additionally, we are striving to increase the number of scholarships annually, with the objective to reach out to many more children who could benefit from this initiative.”
