We, NAJC members, thank you very much for the compliments and for offering your help. You can definitely chip-in by spreading the NAJC gospel. It takes active participation of people from all walks of life to make the positive difference in any community.

Agreed that people like Santosh & Ram Arya, who have a lion’s heart, are few and far between but each one of us lesser mortals can do our part to help NAJC’s dream come to fruition.

Specifically at this time you can help us in increasing the applicant pool for NAJC scholarships. Talk to your friends, relatives, colleagues; tell them about the availabilty of these scholarships to jat students pursuing college education in India. We receive a handsome number of applications but more the merrier.

Dear Mr. Kapoor,
Thanks! I will try my level best to do the needful. Infact, today I have shared this information with my friends Dr. K.P. Rana & Dr. Ritu Rana. Both of them are very good they will also do something for this purpose.
with kind regards,
Sincerely

Dear Major Sahab

At the very outset, I apologize for the delayed response.

At the same time we Thank You very much for showing interest in NAJC's objectives, dreams, functioning …… et al.

The following statement embodies NAJC's dream:

“The day shall come when NAJC will be able to present unlimited opportunities to people of our community, especially children, to enable them to act out their strongest dreams – even if it takes a few lifetimes”.

We need everyone's contribution/help because we truly believe this dream can be fulfilled but only with active participation of more and more ABLE & WILLING jats like Sheela & Dr. Jaipal Rathi, Veena & Dr. Jagbir Singh, Dr. Ghasi Ram, Santosh & Ram Arya, the Ahalawat/Dabas family - all NAJC protagonists who are our guiding lights. Each one of us jatland members (and others) can learn a thing or two from these people who truly epitomize selflessness.

Answers to your questions here in this format will not do justice to all the work being done through NAJC. Therefore, I request you to visit www.najcharities.org

Caution: Don’t judge us by the layout of our website. Don’t they say sometimes looks can be deceiving??? It’s certainly true in this case. The website is run and maintained by amateurs (volunteers for upgrading the website are welcome) so you might not find the layout very professional. But if you devote time to reading various articles, which elucidate the projects undertaken by the organization, you will understand our mission better.

For your and other jatland members’ benefit, I am also giving a link to another article posted on jatland by Ms. Sumita Singh. She wrote the article about one of our membership meetings held in April 2004.

http://www.jatland.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1022

Very soon, I will also try to post the brochure we prepared on the occasion of NAJC’s 10th anniversary celebration. The brochure synopsizes NAJC’s work from 1994 to 2004.

Thanks once again for your interest in NAJC.

Best Wishes

NAJC

Dear All

I had a few enquiries from students studying outside India. As much as we would like to help such students, the scholarships at present are available to students pursuing COLLEGE education in INDIA.

As you can imagine, a Dollar goes a long way in India compared to in a more developed country. We hope that one day, with contribution from more and more affluent jats, we will be able to cater to every jat student and support him/her in realizing his/her full potential.

Best Wishes

NAJC (North American Jat Charities - www.najcharities.org)

[singhkapoor]

Dear Dr. Rajpal

I sincerely wish NAJC were in a position to consider your case!! With our limited resources, we are only able to offer scholarships to students pursuing college education in India. But, NAJC's membership is growing and so are its resources; so,it's only a matter of time before we start helping students studying outside India.

I am sure a few more well-heeled jats will take notice of our activities and make financial contributions that can help NAJC to get in kilter.

I apologize for the delayed response.

Wishing you all the best!!!

Respected Kapoor Uncle and other NAJC Members,

I am really glad to see that all of you are putting in so much effort for the cause of providing better education to our fellow JAT brothers who are not so privileged to afford the best education due to montary reasons.

I am working with a NGO called Asha for education with its Hyderabad chapter (http://ashanet.org/hyderabad ) for over last one year and I have this dream to run a chapter on similar lines in Haryana.We are a bunch of just 5-10 volunteers and have been able to provide support to various schools.
There are numerous Non Profit organizations doing a whole lot of good work in many states but for reasons not clear to me in Haryana there are very few organizations.

I would highly suggest that some of the Jatland members take personal interest in a school in some villages to start with and if required you can raise some funds from NAJC to support the needs of the school.
Also otehr jatland members who are in haryana can use their contacts and take people to spend time with these children.
More than anything they need proper guidance about what all opportunities lie infront of them and to make them realize the importance of education.

It will take a bunch of enthusiastic people who can take the leadership role and form a group and to start with work with a school near them. It can be things like spending time with children and taking classes for them.
Slowly you will realize what are their requirements and how they can be addressed. We can all try to raise monetary funds and provide help in whatever way possible.

Here in Hyderabad we are basically using our contacts in the corporate world and some personal donations to help the under privileged children.

It will be a great step towards our larger goal if we can start such a group.
Thanks and Regards,
Anuj kadyan

[suvigya]

Hi Anuj,

Swell reading you post & efforts you are making for the NGO "Asha" um quite keen in associating with some NGO,,do leme know if i can be of any help to you..i am a market research professional residing in Gurgaon,,

Take care,,
Suvigya

[singhkapoor]

Dear Anuj

Thanks a ton for taking time out to put forth your suggestions. In fact, Mr. Arya and I have been discussing the possibility of implementing a similar idea.

Every year, NAJC awards scholarships (all-expenses-paid - in most cases) to 20 bright jat men/women pursuing college education in India. We are thinking of asking the recipients of these scholarships (most are pursuing a degree in Engineering or Medicine) to donate a small amount of their time towards tutoring/helping school-kids in their local area.

We are even weighing the pros and cons of making social service as a pre-requisite to qualifying for an NAJC scholarship.

Please let us know if you know of anyone residing in the jat belt, who might be interested in furthering NAJC’s cause. High school/college going students are in the best position to render this kind of social-service (tutoring under-privileged kids) and get a commendation certificate from NAJC.

We will be glad to explore the possibilities.

And yes, thanks for calling me Uncle. If I remember correctly you are Anurag’s younger brother and must be in your twenties (didn’t we once chat online?). Anyway, the good thing about having an old-fashioned/old-sounding name is that you get a little more respect……... I am sure I would have been treated a little differently if my name were Bunty….LOL.

We appreciate your “looking out for NAJC”.

[singhkapoor]

Suvigya

How about starting out with helping kids from your own community....i.e. doing something in tandem with NAJC - a "homegrown" charity? Don't they say - Charity begins at home?

Please let us know if you are interested.

Best Wishes.

Thanks for the quick turnaround; I have sent you an email. Let's see what can be worked out...there are numerous possibilities depending on the time you have on hand.

I am sure your action will inspire at least a few others on this site and soon we will have a bucket brigade.

[anujkadyan]

Hi suvigya,

I can help you out in giving you ideas of how to start off with helping children from our community. I have been working in this for quiet some time and i have come to knwo of the challenges we face.
First and foremost being the Volunteers crunch:

You need to first talk about your idea of doing something with your friends and if you can get a bunch of enthusiastic friends who feel really passionately about this cause then half of the job is done.

Now once you have a group you can identify a school near by and start visiting their on saturdays and then over the time yo9u will realize what their needs are and how best you can help them.

Initially it might be tough to get people and volunteers will keep coming in and going out but you should keep the ball rolling.
In my one years association I have come to realize that fund raising is really tough thing to do in india. I am sure we can get help from NAJC in this.

But first thing is to start working with them and forming a group who wants to really work for this cause. I do have some friends in gurgaon but I am not very sure if they will be interested in spending time on something like this.
Most of the young ppl dont feel so much for such things. My friends infact make fun of me as well but then the satisfaction which you get out of this is something they will not understand :)
But at the same time I see more and more young ppl getting interested in such work and thinking of this as their responsibility.

Best of luck,
Regards,
ANuj

[anujkadyan]

Respected kapoor uncle,
Well yes you are right.. fi the name was something like Bunty I surely wuld have not guessed that you might be very elder to me :) and that wuld have acted as a decption of your age :)

Well this is a great idea to see that students benifiting out of NAJC scholarship take up the responsibility to educate atleast one child and if possible may be work towards a bigger cause.

I will try to see if some of my friends might be interested in working on something like this. I am not very hopeful though as most of them have moved out and those who are there are struggling with their own career and might not be able to help.

Most of the times in such things getting followers is easy but to get the right leader is the tough part. If we can get one commited leader here he can surely start a group by influencing others and doa great job.

It will be great if we can form a group here and start something like that.
Dr Birbal took the initiative and started a thread on Time for Action and today we have Mr ANil who has started off his venture and will surely do great.
I think we should start a similar thread to start a voluntary group who will work on this cause.
We can have a Jatland members meet in Delhi or Gurgaon and this can be the agenda for them to see how they can work on providing better education to the under privileged.
I am sure with guidance of elders like you and monetary support from NAJC they can make a lot of difference.

Regards,
Anuj kadyan

Dear Dalbir

Thanks a ton for your kind words but I must mention here that it’s a collective effort of 67 members; contribution of people such as Col. Tavathia, Sujata, Nitin, Vinod, Jatin .... (all NAJC members and Jatlanders) is no less significant than mine. I just happen to be the “spokesperson” for this wonderful organization founded eleven years ago by one of the gems of jatland – Mr. Ram Arya.

Whatever NAJC has achieved up to this point would not have been possible without the help we receive from volunteers and of course generous contribution of time and money from members.

You are most welcome to drop an email to me (kapoorsingh@yahoo.com), Mr. Ram Arya (ramsarya@yahoo.com) or any of the above-mentioned members.

Best Wishes

People in Villages need books first then scholarships.

Supply ENCYCLOPEDIAS..all volumes
ATLAS map books

Maths books part of US schools curriculum.

One can contact sarpanches for establishing library halls in villages.


Always start from BASICs

[rsdalal]

Dheeraj,
It is not that basic as it souds,
To set up a library, you just not need books etc, but need, Building, care taken payroll etc. That all sounds like more infrastructure than mere scholorship...
Please eleborate if I misunderstood you...

Hello

After clearing the IIT JAM Exam, when you get the admission in IITs then some IITs provided you scholarships to reduce your burden as per the eligibility. It means if you are qualifying for the particular scholarship then you can apply for it. The scholarship provides you some amount and other facilities. IIT name are given below which offer you many scholarships:
IIT Bombay
IIT Guwahati
IIT Gandhinagar
IIT Kanpur
IIT Roorkee
IIT Madras
IIT Hyderabad

You can check the all information of IIT scholarships (https://scoop.eduncle.com/scholarship-for-iit-msc-phd) through this link.

But to get the admission in IITs for post-graduation and get the benefit of scholarships, you must clear the IIT JAM Exam. IIT JAM Exam is conducted for seven subjects which are :

Physics
Chemistry
Mathematics
Mathematical Statistics
Biological Science
Biotechnology
Geology

You can select any one subject and check the IIT JAM Eligibility (https://scoop.eduncle.com/iit-jam-eligibility) of particular subject. After satisfying the eligibility criteria, you can apply for this exam. It is not easy to crack the IIT JAM Exam, it needs a lot of hard work and dedication. If you prepared well with good study material and solve the previous papers, mock test papers then you will definitely clear the exam.

Thank You!!

Information about the scholarships provided by North American Jat Charities is listed in its website www.najatcharities.org. Click on "Scholarships".

The cut-off date for applications is August 15th of each year. NAJC provides 70+ scholarships each year to college going bright and needy students in India each year. Awardees are decided by the end of September. The scholarships are then continued till the student graduates provided the student obtains at least 60% marks in each of the exams and does some Community Service. Scholarships are generally not started if the student is in final year of graduation.
If there are questions after going thru NAJC's website, you may contact me or any other member of NAJC. Contact info about NAJC is also available on Jatland Wiki.
