NEW DELHI, Jan 4: Delhi based FORE School of Management has announced special concession amounting to 10 percent waiver in the Tuition fee for the students of Jammu and Kashmir for the session 2015-16.
This special concession is over and above any other scholarship being given to the student.
Prof Jitendra K Das, Director, Fore School of Management, said, “Although we, at FORE, have students from different States and regions of the country, the J&K is still under represented. Perhaps, due to a variety of local socio-economic conditions and special concession to them in tuition fee is aimed to promote management education in J&K.”
FORE has, over the years, taken many initiatives to promote diversity within the campus. Extra points are given to students from under represented regions seeking admission to PGDM/PGDM-IB courses. The net effect, therefore, is that not only students from these regions get an advantage in the selection process but once having taken admission they can also avail of the concession in tuition fee.
FORE is a ‘not-for-profit’ Society. It is managed through a Board comprising eminent persons from the civil society. Within its mandate, it would continue to look for opportunities to contribute its bit towards national or social causes.
The scheme is also applicable for the students of 8 North-Eastern States i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim.
“While not calling it CSR, we do feel that FORE needs to contribute in its own small and humble way, to the development of human capital in these regions and integrate them with the social and economic mainstream of India,” concluded Dr Das.
