Scholarship named after Dr J.B. Singh


Georgetown —

A Scholarship in the name of Dr. Jung Bahadur Singh has been set up for the benefit of students of the recently commissioned Saraswati Vidya Niketan, the only private Hindu Secondary School in Guyana. The scholarship is being funded by Toronto lawyer, Ram Sahadeo, who made the announcement on May 11, 2003 when the school was officially opened.

.

Present at the opening ceremony were many businessmen and officials, including Justice Nandram Kissoon, Mr. Ronald Gajraj, Minister of Home Affairs, Mr Yesu Persaud, Chairman of Demerara Distilleries Ltd and representatives from the Ministry of Education.

Individuals from New York and Toronto who helped in raising funds for the construction of the building were also given plaques for their contribution.

A plaque of recognition was also awarded to the Mississauga-based Hindu Seva Sangh temple for its steadfast support of the school project.

Sahadeo said he chose to name the scholarship after Dr. Singh because the late doctor was one of the many Hindu leaders in Guyana who made significant contributions to Indian culture. This scholarship, said Sahadeo, would help to ensure that history does not easily forget Dr. Singh.

The Toronto lawyer further urged that similar scholarships in the name of notable figures, living or deceased, or even in the name of organizations, be set up to assist Guyanese children. One could also bequeath a portion of one’s estate to the school in his/her last will and testament, he said.

Swami Aksharananda, Principal Designate of the institution, endorsed Sahadeo’s sentiments and pointed out that there are many other national leaders who have promoted Hindu values in their public life but have not been recognised. At the present time $500 (Can) per year will fund the tuition for one child at the school.

The Swami stated that there is an immediate need for a lab and residence facilities for overseas teachers. Persons wishing to assist or to set up a Scholarship may call the Swami at 626-4521 (Guyana) or Ram Sahadeo at 905-671-9233 (Toronto).
