Founder of the SGSF Dr Sudhakar Nayak, an IRS officer by profession, has handed over the first monthly scholarship to Yaswanth. Speaking to Telangana Today Dr Nayak said Yaswanth had many dreams such as cracking the National Defence Academy examination to get into the Indian Army. “We will certainly extend support to the young boy until he realises his dream”, the IRS official said.

The SGSF was in the news for extending such scholarships to 41 students who had lost their parents to Covid-19. Yaswanth has thanked SGSF and its founder members Dr Manoj Reddy, Dr Chandra Krishna, and Dr Ajesh Raj Saxena, for their kind gesture.
