Smt Sakarbai K Somaiya Memorial & Smt Mayadevi S Somaiya need based Scholarships

 

Smt Sakarbai K Somaiya: It is said, behind every successful man stands a wise, understanding and encouraging woman. Smt Sakarbai Somaiya was a pillar and a strong support system for her husband, Somaiya Vidyavihar's founder, Pujya K J Somaiya. She truly materialised the Sanskrit verse 'atithi devo bhava' and anyone that visited their home was treated as God. Her devotion to serve was not restricted to guests alone, she provided food and unconditional care and fulfilled the needs of the underprivileged. She rightfully earned the name 'Annapoorna'.

 

Smt Mayadevi S Somaiya : A fond lover of Indian music and an exceptional singer with a soulful voice, Smt Mayadevi Somaiya, besides cultivating her skill set with utmost dedication always promoted Indian music. She had an art to recognise exceptional talent before the world recognised them. Almost all the present and yesteryears famous classical singers have performed at her residence in the nascent stages of their career. Continuing the Somaiya family's legacy of kindness and devotion to society, Smt Mayadevi Somaiya, mother of Somaiya Vidyavihar's President Shri Samir Somaiya, through this scholarship would like to motivate and inspire students to pursue their education and excel in life.
