For many families, education is central to their children’s future. However, the cost of keeping children in school can be challenging for households with limited financial resources. In Pune, the Abhay Bhutada Foundation contributed INR 21 Lakh towards the Deva Bhau School Scholarship programme, which provided educational assistance to 300 students from economically weaker families.


TL;DR: Held in July 2026 with Hindu Garjana Pratishthan, the programme recognised students who had maintained good academic performance despite financial difficulties. It also acknowledged parents’ efforts to continue prioritising their children’s education while meeting everyday household expenses.


Programme Connected Scholarships with Academic Merit


The Deva Bhau School Scholarship programme supported students who had continued to focus on their studies while facing financial challenges at home. Hindu Garjana Pratishthan worked with schools and community representatives to identify students who could benefit from assistance.


The selection process took academic performance and family circumstances into account. This approach helped the programme recognise students for their efforts while considering the financial difficulties their households faced. A total of 300 students received assistance through the initiative.


Maharashtra’s Higher and Technical Education Minister, Shri Chandrakant Patil, presented the scholarships during the ceremony. The event also brought together representatives from community organisations and public life.

Those in attendance included Shri Dheeraj Ghate, President of Hindu Garjana Pratishthan, BJP Pune City President and Corporator, and Shri Umesh Shelke, President of the Labour Union. Smt. Smita Vaste, Shri Amar Aawale, Smt. Manisha Ghate and Smt. Priyanka Shendge were present, along with office bearers and volunteers.


The distribution ceremony recognised the academic commitment of the students and the part their families played in helping them remain focused on education. The involvement of schools and community representatives helped connect the programme with students who met its selection considerations.



CA Abhay Bhutada Spoke About the Role of Families


CA Abhay Bhutada, Founder and Chairman of the Abhay Bhutada Foundation and Chairman of TAB Global Ventures, acknowledged the difficulties that families can experience while trying to provide their children with educational opportunities. When income is limited, parents may have to make considerable efforts to meet school costs while also managing everyday household expenses.

The Foundation’s contribution was intended to recognise these efforts and provide financial assistance to students from families facing such circumstances. The support also acknowledged the determination of students who had continued working towards their academic goals despite challenges at home.


CA Abhay Bhutada emphasised that every child should have access to education, regardless of their family’s economic background. He described educational support as a collective responsibility shared by society, institutions and community organisations. Through its involvement in the Deva Bhau School Scholarship programme, the Foundation contributed to an initiative that recognised students’ efforts and supported their families.


Assistance Helped Families Manage Education Costs


Schooling involves expenses that families must manage alongside their other household needs. Costs related to educational materials, school requirements and academic needs can become difficult for families with limited resources. The scholarship programme provided assistance to students whose families were experiencing these financial pressures.


By considering both academic performance and financial circumstances, the programme recognised students who had demonstrated commitment to their studies and needed support. The assistance helped address some of the financial concerns connected with schooling, while acknowledging families’ efforts to continue their children’s education.


Hindu Garjana Pratishthan’s work with schools and community representatives helped identify potential beneficiaries. This involvement connected local networks with the scholarship programme and its intended recipients. The initiative brought together financial assistance and recognition for students who had continued to pursue their studies through difficult circumstances.
