This scholarship holds special national relevance in the wake of successful Operation Sindoor, where our brave personnel displayed extraordinary courage in response to the horrific massacre of civilians in Pahalgam. Their swift and determined action ensured the safety of the nation and reaffirmed India’s standing as a strong and resilient global power. These full scholarships are a tangible expression of solidarity; because true respect must go beyond words and translate into action.”
