Shivam Cement Limited has taken a powerful step toward uplifting community education with the launch of the Shivam Cement Scholarship, an initiative designed to support girl students in Nepal, promote gender equality in education, and strengthen community school enrollment. This CSR-driven program provides financial assistance to 104 girl students studying at Lakshmi Basic School in Hetauda-17.
Why This Scholarship Matters for Community Education
Community schools across Nepal have been facing a declining number of girl students, often due to financial hardship, social barriers, and limited access to educational resources. The Shivam Cement Scholarship Program directly addresses these challenges by offering eight months of school fees, easing financial pressure on families and encouraging consistent attendance.
During the formal handover program—attended by local officials, school representatives, and Shivam Cement team members—stakeholders emphasized the importance of keeping girls in school to ensure long-term social and economic progress.
Supporting Girls From Grades 1 to 8
The scholarship benefits girl students from Grades 1 to 8, providing not only financial relief but also a boost in morale and confidence. By reducing the economic barriers that hinder education, the program promotes:
-
Higher school enrollment
-
Regular attendance
-
Improved academic performance
-
Reduced educational inequality
