Mission
As the Trust got formed and the trustees deliberated on the policy aspects and finalized them, it decided to adopt a broad frameworkâthat it should undertake such projects, which are too large for individuals to handle and that each of these projects should have a genuine relevance to the welfare of the country.The Trust is mandated to:
- Maintain and support schools, educational institutions and hospitals
- Provide relief in distress caused by the elements of nature such as famine, pestilence, fire, tempest, flood, earthquake or any other calamity
- Help advancement of learning in all its branches especially research work in medical and industrial problems
- Offer financial aid to the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, by instituting professorships or lectureships or giving scholarships
- Award fellowships in any branch of science or assist students to study abroad either by payment of lump sums grants or by payment of periodical sums
