According to the official statement from the Institution, will provide a 60% Scholarship for each student, provided the support of Institutions like NGOs, Trusts, Masjid, Mandir, Church, and other charity organizations which are expected to share the remaining 40%. Philanthropic Organisations are encouraged to reach out to the masses to collect the fund and help the meritorious students of their locality.
Students should approach the philanthropic organization of their Locality or nearby Masjid/Mandir/Church and Local Charitable Organizations/Masjids are requested to assist them. Each Organisation/Masjid can select 1 student of their Locality and refer them to Shaheen Group of Institutions. Masjid and Local Organizations are requested to promote the concept and spread the message.
“Temples, Churches, Masjids, and other religious organizations are encouraged to collect 40% of the Tuition Fee and select one or any number of student (economically deprived) of their Locality. Religious institutions and places of worship have played a vital role in the past. Ashrams, Vihar, and Maths were the institutions helping students with finance and by imparting free education. The convents are primarily educational institutions attached to churches” the press statement added.
“In the British era when the British government stopped funding to the institutions imparting Sanskrit and Arabic. Communities started funding them. Now once again situation demands the participation of communities. Places of worship should create a fund for the education of needy students. Students or parents or the schools can approach them. Because most of the financially sound parents have listed their source of income and facing a financial crunch, they may come out of this situation but till then the community should support them.
“We believe that the CARES model of educational sponsorship will boost up the socio-economic status of society. Community participation is a widely accepted theory across the education sector. UNICEF 1992 document states that “Communities can play a variety of roles in the development of Education and Learning Processes”. One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, students and management of schools are affected by the full closure of educational institutions. At this juncture, community participation is considered necessary for the progress of society and its educational institutions” it added.

Crocodiles found in MP house during IT searches; reptiles rescued by forest dept
Bhopal, Jan 11: Crocodiles were rescued on Friday from a house in Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh by forest department officials who were tipped off about the presence of the reptiles by Income Tax personnel raiding the place.
Confirming the development, MP Head of Forest Force Aseem Shrivastava told PTI that a case has been registered under the Wildlife Protection Act in this regard.
The action was taken after forest department personnel were notified about the presence of crocodiles by IT sleuths, he added.
"The health of the crocodiles is being examined. We will intimate the court about them and proceed accordingly," Shrivastava added.
Shrivastava, however, did not say how many crocodiles were rescued or who was the owner of the house.
While a top IT official said searches were carried out at places connected to Rajesh Kesarwani, a bidi manufacturer, building construction contractor and former BJP corporator in Sagar, he refused to speak anything about crocodiles.
Sources put the number of reptiles rescued at four.
