The Veer Shaheed Ganesh Hansda Fellowship serves as a beacon of hope for rural children and youth, offering continuous support and guidance in their academic pursuits.

Reflecting on the success of the students, Sugda Hansda expressed his pride and satisfaction, emphasizing his joy in witnessing the progress of children studying in memory of his son, Ganesh.
Tarun Kumar, the founder of Nishchay, commended the students for their outstanding performance and encouraged them to continue their academic journey with dedication and focus.

Following the ceremony, the fellowship team visited the homes of the students to provide information and guidance on various academic and career opportunities in science-related fields.
