A.K. Subbayya and Ponnamma Trust Distributes Scholarships

Virajpet, Sept. 27: Scholarships, awarded annually to meritorious female students from underprivileged backgrounds pursuing undergraduate studies in Kodagu district, were distributed at a ceremony held at the Virajpet MLA's residence-cum-office.

Addressing the gathering, Ajjikuttira S. Ponnanna—Trustee of the endowment fund, MLA of Virajpet, and Political Secretary to the Chief Minister—said, "Efforts to inspire children and contribute to society must continue uninterrupted. Everyone must fulfill their responsibilities. Adversity is a law of nature; one must accept it, move forward, and build a foundation for the future. You must possess the determination and resolve to achieve something. Seizing opportunities and succeeding paves the way for your family, your hometown, and society at large. You have the inner strength to face challenges and shape your future; recognize this potential and achieve success."

He further emphasized that in modern society, women should enter the mainstream, recognize their own strength, and attain high status and positions. He urged young women to join the societal mainstream, noting that while there are many obstacles, they must overcome them all and emerge as strong, empowered women. A charitable initiative in the name of the parents was established for the first time during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. It was stated that the scholarship is being awarded to encourage female students, reflecting the immense affection the mother, Ponnamma, held for girls. To ensure a transparent and apolitical selection process for eligible students, the decision was made to select recipients by reviewing applications through the *Shakti* daily newspaper.
