Azim Premji Foundation has committed to giving ₹2,250 crore over three years to help more girls complete their college education, making it the country's largest direct benefit transfer scheme by a not-for-profit private entity.
Under the initiative, a girl who has completed her standard X and XII from a government school can apply for the Azim Premji scholarship. Billionaire and philanthropist Azim Premji's eponymous foundation, Azim Premji Foundation, would give ₹30,000 a year to up to 250,000 girl students. This translates to ₹750 crore a year, which, over a three-year degree program, would total ₹2,250 crore.
