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.

Justice Varma transferred to Allahabad HC amid probe over discovery of cash at his home
New Delhi, Mar 28 (PTI): The government Friday notified the transfer of Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma to his parent Allahabad High Court, the order coming amid a row over alleged discovery of a huge amount of cash from his official residence here. The Law Ministry issued a notification announcing his transfer.
Recommending his repatriation to the government on Monday, the Supreme Court Collegium had asserted the move was separate from an in-house probe ordered by the top court over the alleged discovery of cash from Justice Varma's residence after a fire incident around 11.35 on the night of Holi, March 14.
Following the incident, Chief Justice of India had directed the Delhi High Court to withdraw judicial work from the judge.
On March 21, the Supreme Court said Delhi High Court Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya had initiated an in-house inquiry against Justice Varma and there was a separate proposal to transfer the judge.
Justice Upadhyaya was stated to have commenced the inquiry prior to a meeting of the apex court Collegium on March 20.
On March 22, the CJI uploaded on the SC website the inquiry report by Chief Justice Upadhyaya, and constituted the three-member committee to conduct an in-house inquiry.
Two days later, the Supreme Court Collegium formally recommended to the Centre Justice Varma's transfer.
"The Supreme Court Collegium in its meetings held on March 20 and 24, 2025 has recommended the repatriation of Justice Yashwant Varma, Judge, High Court of Delhi, to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad," an SC resolution on that day read.
The next day, the three-member SC committee visited Justice Varma's residence, commencing its inquiry into the matter.
Justice Varma has denounced any insinuation and said no cash was ever placed at the site either by him or any of his family members.
Earlier today, the top court rejected a PIL seeking Delhi Police to register an FIR over over the alleged discovery of burnt wads of cash from his official residence, calling the petition "premature".
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said the in-house inquiry was in progress and there would be several options open to the Chief Justice of India after the probe concludes.
Members of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association have been protesting against the Collegium's recommendation to repatriate Justice Varma to the Allahabad HC. The protesting lawyers met Chief Justice Khanna in Delhi Thursday.
Separately, the government also notified the repatriation of Delhi High Court judge Chandra Dhari Singh to the Allahabad High Court.
The Collegium had in November last year recommended Justice Singh's repatriation.
In another order, Justice Arindam Sinha was transferred from the Orissa High Court to the Allahabad High Court. The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended his transfer earlier this month.
