Scholarships and high-class education

BML Munjal University (BMU), headquartered in the Gurgaon district, was founded by the promoters of the Hero Group. And, they have always taken complete responsibility for the community.

Despite aiming to bridge the significant gap in skills students need while graduating, they also support employees with education and health services, two basic amenities. Further, in 2014, to help the nation grow, the promoters established higher education institutes that provide quality education. 

Since its inception, BMU has been focused on ensuring that deserving and academically bright students get access to education regardless of their economic background. 

To do this, first, they identify promising students undergoing financial difficulties, personal struggles, and girls who need an extra push to complete their higher education. Then offer them scholarships and financial aid to afford education and make the most of it. 

A spokesperson from the university says that the scholarships offered are sponsored by several companies that work with BMU.  

Nurturing hope 

Dyuti, a resident of Haryana, was one such hardworking and academically bright student who deserved nothing less than the best education. Growing up in a family with strong role models, she aspired to become a computer engineer.

When Dyuti was on the verge of completing her schooling, tragedy hit her family. Her father, a mechanical engineer and the sole breadwinner of the family passed away. The family was heartbroken, and their financial situation became weak. Making ends meet became harder, and Dyuti was unsure how to finance her higher education. 

She was ready to give up on her dreams! But, BMU was informed about Dyuti's academic performance and personal story. Immediately, the promoters understood that financing higher education, especially a programme like engineering, was not a small thing. 

So, BMU offered her a scholarship named Hamari Pari Scholarship, sponsored by Hero MotoCorp. This is one of the many scholarship programmes at BMU that allowed Dyuti to focus on her university education and aspirations.

The university’s unique curriculum focuses on transforming students into ethical and innovative leaders passionate about creating a positive impact. To date, BMU has enrolled over 1746 students, and 40% of them are on some form of scholarship.

Such initiatives have helped to create a significant jump in the number of admissions for higher education. This is reflected in a report published by the All India Higher Education Survey (AISHE) in 2019. It suggests that institutions providing higher education rose to 80% from 75% and the enrolment number increased from 11.4% to 18.2%. 

As the country moves towards achieving greater literacy rates, holistic initiatives like BMU is the push that will get us there.
