RAJOURI, May 6: Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University as a part of its social responsibility initiatives has decided to offer a full fee waiver to the students whose parents, both or either of the two, are suffering from Cancer.
The decision was taken in a high-level meeting chaired by the Vice Chancellor Prof Akbar Masood.
The VC said that Cancer is a shock to a family, both emotionally and financially and when such an event hits a family, gathering resources is a challenge.
Prof Akbar said that as of now, there was no provision of financially helping the students enrolled in various courses of the university whose parents are suffering from Cancer.
Prof Akbar said that this scheme will benefit the low income class students who do not have any substantial source of income in the family and whose parents are under treatment in the Government Hospitals of Jammu and Kashmir.
