The prestigious \ Yenepoya Academic Excellence Award\", which is given every year to the deserved , meritorious and needy students , is an indication of the SOCIAL OBLIGATION which the benefactor institution is having in the real sense. Hardly few (finger count) institutions are having this kind of practice and one lively example as per my knowledge is concerned is the \" Shyamanuru Shiva Shankarrappa Education Foundation which is, convening similar programme in the name and style \"S S Jana Kalyana Trust \". Khudos to Yenepoya Foundation for convening this auspicious mission of lending supporting hands for the fulfillment of ambition for good education of the students community as a whole. Spending Rs.10,00,000/- every year on this, can be defined with a popular simile in Kannada language \" KEREYA NEERANU KEREGE CHELLI \" . Thank You and keep it up Sir."
