Written Testimonials

“I completed my B.Pharm from Nirma University with 8.49 PPI out of 10 (i.e. 79.9%). First with Distinction. I am very, very thankful to your institute ( Pennies for Education & Health) because of people who associated with it helpful me economically as well as they provided better guidance for my best career. Due to them I make my study very easy and I got best result. I will think for further study like M.

My interview will be held on 16th June at Alembic Ltd., Vadodara through college. I again very very thankful to your institute and in future I will serve like you for those students who are economically weak. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!”

“Thank you so much for your help regarding my PhD. It’s so nice of you to show interest in the problems faced by needy students like us. My PhD work is in the field of microbiology, and it basically deals with metagenomics and metabolomics. I was really in need of your help as I have to live away from my home, in Vidyanagar. As I have to stay here for study, there were many expenses from studying to living here. Because of your help I am able to cope up with these. Thanks for all such support. I am indebted to you and will try to prove myself up to your expectations. Thank you very much.”

“I am thankful to you for helping me financially in completion of my studies last year. My review paper is published in an International Journal (Reviews in Environmental Sciences and Biotechnology) and other two are in process of publication.

“I am very glad to inform you, that I had passed my M. Sc final with 65% marks. I am very much thankful to you for giving me financial support. My father does electrical repairing work and my mother is a housewife. We are four brothers and sisters. My brothers are studying in school and my sister is in college. So it is not possible for my father, who is the only source of income of our family, to pay for my further studies. I want to do M. Phil (microbiology). During my M. Phil work I want to study about “Textile dye bio-degradation” which I hope will help to decrease the problem of pollution caused by the release of textile industry waste water. So I hope that you will help me this time also to complete my M.Phil. Thank you once again for supporting me in such a critical situation and helping me to complete my M.Sc.”

“My parents and I are very grateful for the Scholarship amount paid by you. (Rs. 30,000/-) It is indeed a great help to me to meet the cumbersome expenditure of college fee and other expenses. As you are aware, in spite of getting 91% in Science subject I could not secure admission in Govt. college. It was not a choice to go for admission in the Self Finance College but by merit, having no other alternative. I am proud that there are people who care for others. This generosity has inspired me to follow your suit after completion of my studies; I too wish to serve the people, by extending help for education and health. May, God shower upon you all the favorable bounties for this act of benevolence.”

With God’s grace, I have been offered a PhD directly at Vallabh Vidhyanaar. It was really hard for our family to fulfill the study demand of four students studying in English medium because of our situation. But you helped us to complete my higher education. Thank you for such support. I would try to live up to your expectation.”
