LUMINARY QUOTES

Hon’ble Mr. Justice A.M. Khanwilkar

Judge, Supreme Court of India

CAN Foundation is an inspiring and dynamic concept brimming with youthful exuberance of the Alumni of the National Law Universities (NLUs), established as a mark of respect and to offer ‘Guru Dakshina’ to the institutions which imparted them quality legal education. It is truly commendable that the Alumni of NLUs, despite having grown to great heights in various walks of life and holding offices of responsibility like those of Judges, Senior Advocates, Law Officers, General Counsels of Corporate Companies, Partners of various Indian and International Law Firms, etc., and their busy professional schedules, have taken up this initiative. The object of this foundation of facilitating NLUs to play an effective role in strengthening the Indian Justice System is exemplary.

Shri Kamal Nath

Hon'ble CM of Madhya Pradesh

The world is ever changing and India today is entirely different from what India was 30 years ago. The Executive, Legislature and Judiciary are all ever-changing. In this ever-changing universe there are some who hold the beacon. CAN Foundation is the that driving force, which is holding the beacon of change by helping the impoverished, needing financial backing, and helping to create legal minds of tomorrow.

Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ajay Kumar Mittal

Chief Justice of High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

With premier law schools charging hefty fees, it is really commendable how CAN Foundation has taken a lead in making NLUs more inclusive and accesible by providing scholarships to talented students. What is intriguing about this Foundation is that it is the Alumni of these National Law Universities who have undertaken this great initiative. CAN Foundation is an outstanding exemplar of how Alumni can contribute to their alma mater introducing changes towards empowerment of students graduating from their alma mater.

Mr. Vivek K. Tankha

Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India & Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha

Law Schools are meant to be breeding grounds for the next generation of lawyers to replenish the Bar or as one can say more aptly – ‘to raise the Bar’. With the inception of the National Law Universities as centre for legal studies, the profession has stood to gain substantially. With most NLUs today charging upwards rupees 10 lakh for the course has made premier legal institutions more restrictive. CAN Foundation through its “Project Eklavya” laudably aims to counter this major impediment in pursuit of their career.

Mr. Arjun Harkauli

Member, Scrutiny Committee Project Eklavya

Project Eklavya was a latent desire among legal circles that has now found utterance. Legal education and awareness is the fulcrum of our social intercourse and a guarantee of our political way of life. It must illuminate all sections of society and empower the weakest.
Project Eklavya is the bridge for meritorious students navigating whirlpool of financial constraints. Its special feature is that it is a merit cum means scholarship unfettered by any sectarian considerations.
It was my pleasure and honour to be part of its Scholarships’ Scrutiny Committee that was firm in its objectivity and expansive in its compassion for accommodating the deserving. As a committee our hearts were saddened to see the dire plight of our bright applicants.
I can not end this without appreciation of Mr. Siddharth Gupta CEO, CAN foundation who could carve and give shape to this idea. It was magnanimous to the donors, Government of Madhya Pradesh, Hon’ble Justice Khanwilkar, Hon’ble judges of the MP High Court and the Vidhan Sabha of Madhya Pradesh to give a grand flag off to this ship on its maiden voyage. I am sure it will charter a greater journey and touch more lives in its philanthropic journey.

Member, Scrutiny Committee Project Eklavya

CAN foundation retaining the Indian standard of education and fulfilling the dreams of students, who doesn’t have financial help. Helping to encourage more and more student to pursue their education in the field of law, without any financial burden. As one of the team member of Scrutiny Committee it feels great and immense pleasure to be part of such project, giving opportunities to talented, bright students off country. We tried and kept the selection procedure for scholarship very simple and transparent. In this whole process we asked students to submit some important and relevant documents, which helped usconsidering the deserving student for scholarship. Our criteria for the selection of students were checking their family financial background and student’s academic achievements. CAN is one of the great foundation which is going to give some bright students opportunity to fulfill their dreams and allow them to achieve without any financial burden on them.

Eklavya Scholar - National University of Study and Research in Law,Ranchi

There are few scholarships available for law students even though the study of law is one of the costliest in India. CAN foundation deserves huge applause for coming up with the idea of mobilizing alumni of NLU's to help the current students.It is needless to even mention what important part Eklavya scholarships are playing in the lives of students like us, who are not from humble backgrounds. As far I am concerned, this token is going to help me a lot in fulfilling my academic endeavours and reducing the financial burden of the family.

I want to express my deepest sense of gratitude to CAN Foundation which has chosen me for the coveted Eklavya scholarship. I highly value the generosity which is a great aid in my education. It is a great help to me in providing me the requisite monetary support in pursuing my dreams with less stress on myself and my family. I can't express how grateful I am would like to thank especially the Scrutiny Committee Members, who realising my necessities & predicaments decided to award such a handsome amount of sholarship. Rs. 1 lakh is an amount, which is difficult to be thought of being given by any existing organisation especially to students of any National Law University. CAN has given an opportunity to the students who belong to both the criteria of resources as also merit through Project Eklavya.

Eklavya Scholar - Gujarat National Law University,Gandhinagar

I am grateful to CAN Foundation with its Selection Committee for selecting me as a recipient of Ekalavya Scholarship. The scholarship came at a time when I expected it the least, but needed it the most. I appreciate CAN foundation for its efforts and the support extended to students economically weak to pursue legal education. I believe this Scholarship would be of great help for me to pursue my interests that will mark the rest of my life. I also had the priceless opportunity to witness the inauguration of CAN foundation in the presence of various legal luminaries including Judges of the Supreme Court of India. What Hon’ble Justice Khanwilkar said about present day’s NLU in relation to students coming from economically weaker sections holds starkly true, but philanthropic organizations like CAN fill in the void ably.

Eklavya Scholar - National Law School of India University, Bangalore

Social responsibility is a self-imposed conduct and every person being a part of society must realize this. What CAN Foundation under Project Eklavya has done is remarkable, specifically because of lack of scholarships available for students pursuing law and legal studies. It’s very difficult indeed for a person from non-privileged background to pay the fees of law school. Furthermore, there are so many endeavors that a student can undertake in law school but may refrain because of financial constraints. This scholarship will be immensely useful for me to undertake various endeavors that wait for me and also reduce my family’s financial burden. I am indeed very thankful to CAN Foundation for providing me with this scholarship, which has enabled and encouraged me to continue my studies without any impediments.

Eklavya Scholar - National Law University, Jodhpur

I am eternally grateful for being awarded with the Eklavya Scholarship by the CAN Foundation. Its difficult to express the difficulties in words, if this scholarship won’t have come, when it came to me in life. Perhaps I would have had to abandon this amazing legal education with the great opportunities of learning and growth innate in it, had this financial assistance not reached me.Costs of legal education just like legal profession have risen to record levels & students like myself face insurmountable hurdles in achieving it. CAN has eliminated the financial difficulties obstructing development of many such the aspiring needy students, who are ready to toil extremely hard for their goals. Thank you, CAN !!! This initiative has inspired me to help others and give back to the community once I pursue my career throughout the rest of my life !!!
