Scheme of providing Financial assistance to needy students for education:

The trust presently has a small fund for this purpose.
We will now expand this activity on the lines recommended by Smt. Rajyashree Satish.

 

The general procedure is detailed below

- JST takes the responsibility of establishing endownment using the funds that will be generated
- Since fair amount of contribution is expected from NRIs and foreigners, FCA registration is
needed, which JST already has
- JST will receive money from NRIs and foreigners for this purpose, through normal banking channels
- JST will deposit this seed money in FDs with banks
- Any money received for this purpose from local donors shall be deposited in another account
- Interest earned from these accounts shall be used to provide assistance
- Any trustee, friends of trustees and any responsible person in general, can refer deserving cases
- The trust will conduct a check on the candidate, using its own procedures like home study visit,
verification with friends, Principal of the school or college, associates, etc.,
( detailed format, methodology etc can be worked out once the project is approved)
- A designated trustee or volunteer of the trust will be responsible for scrutinizing the forms
and making the final recommendation
- In consultation with the Secretary, a final decision shall be taken and money disbursed
- Follow up monitoring will be done by the trustee / recommending person / in line with a
predetermined format
- We will ensure all administrative aspects of this activity are taken care of by us, including
setting up procedures, designing necessary forms, getting home study reports, filing, follow
up activities etc for the first few years, to ensure that the local trustees at Melkote are
not burdened with this additional work.
- The entire activity will be that of the trust and all documents, materials, money etc connected
with this activity will belong to the trust
