Building Tomorrow's Leaders

Divya ( Name Changed ) lost her father due to HIV in 2011, and soon after, her mother was also diagnosed with the disease. Despite these hardships, her mother —supported by the Santhipom SHG and Native Medicare Charitable Trust (NMCT)—ensured Divya’s education never stopped.
A bright student, Divya scored 90% in her 10th standard and went on to complete her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) from PPG College of Physiotherapy. With a strong determination to pursue higher studies, she enrolled in the MPT (Master of Physiotherapy) program at Garden City University Bangalore.
Recognising her potential and the financial challenges she faced, NMCT initially provided her a scholarship of Rs.25,000, which enabled her to enroll in the MPT program and continue her education with confidence. Now in her second semester, she continues to work steadily toward her goal. To further support her academic journey, NMCT extended an additional Rs.10,000, bringing the total financial assistance provided to Rs.35,000, helping her stay focused and move closer to her dreams.

Deivanai ( Name Changed )comes from a lower-middle-class family in Theni. She lost her father at a young age in 2010, and since then, her mother—who works as a daily wage farmer—has been the sole breadwinner of the family. Despite these hardships, Deivanai has remained committed to her education. She completed her schooling at a government aided school in Theni and earned admission to PSG College of Technology on merit in 2021.
Her academic journey has not been easy; in Class 9, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, adding further strain through ongoing medical expenses. Now in her final year of engineering and residing at the PSG Tech Ladies’ Hostel, Deivanai continues to pursue her goals with resilience and focus. In recognition of her academic merit and difficult circumstances, NMCT initially provided her Rs. 35,000. An additional Rs.10,000 was later provided for her 4th semester, bringing the total scholarship amount to Rs. 45,000.
