Mrs Geeta Ghosh-Roy (aka Geeta) and Dr AmalenduBhusan Ghosh-Roy (aka Amal) are the parents of Dr. R. Ghosh-Roy who is providing the funds for this scholarship. The name GeetAmal comes from the combination of my parents' names. My parents worked hard to ensure that their three sons understood the need for good education, despite the financial hardships they had to personally endure. After graduation, I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from UK's Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals to study at St Andrews University in Scotland. This scholarship paid the university fees. It was beyond my parents' means to pay for the living expenses. The university, fortunately, offered me a second scholarship to pay for my living expenses and thereby removed the financial hurdle. It has been my desire since to set up a scholarship in my parents' name to help students of similar ilk academically and from similar financial background. I have since been fortunate enough to have climbed the career ladder successfully. I therefore feel elated that this scholarship would help bright students to enter a very prestigious institution like IIT Bhilai. Best of luck!
