Nishkam Canada Takes The First Step

Once all the infrastructure was set up for www.nishkamcanada.org, bank account, web site, credit card functionality on the web site, the Nishkam volunteers started to look for a small project where they could make an immediate impact.

This is when Nishkam India brought the case of a young man by the name of Jasdeep Singh to our notice.

Jasdeep Singh has scored 77.4% marks in the 12th class and his score in PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Maths.) is 81%. The attached mark skeet is evidence of this. With borrowed books, Jasdeep achieved a rank of 5,360 in the CET (Common Entrance Test), an exam for students seeking admission to Engineering schools in India.

Jasdeep’s father is unemployed and suffers from diabetes. His mother has been the breadwinner of the family and done so by providing private tuitions to other students. Nishkam India met young Jasdeep in person and recommended to Nishkam Canada.

An amount of C$ 600 which was received from Nishkam Canada’s donors for scholarship purposes was matched to Jasdeep. Jasdeep is a class XII graduate who has joined the Guru Teg Bahadur Institute of Technology, Rajouri Garden, New Delhi, under the minority quota.
The scholarship being advanced will go towards meeting, school fees, books and other education related expenses.

This has been of the high points of my life, to be able to play a small part in giving hope to a young, bright but needy person who has the rest of his life ahead of him. I hope to keep you update on more news on Jasdeep and other programs that Nishkam Canada pursues.
