Why this trust exists
Remove tuition as a barrier
The purpose is simple and enduring: no deserving rural student should be denied technical education because of tuition constraints.
Mai Bhatti Educational Trust is a long-horizon educational endowment designed to make technical education more accessible for deserving rural students at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana. The site package below reflects the expanded vision: a ₹7 Crore endowment goal by 2030, supported by a founder-led commitment and matched alumni participation.
This design is meant to position the Trust like a serious legacy institution: transparent, measured, founder-led, and credible for alumni, donors, and college leadership.
The purpose is simple and enduring: no deserving rural student should be denied technical education because of tuition constraints.
The model keeps degree and diploma support balanced in count, even when that leaves some capital undistributed, because fairness and structure matter.
A controlled payout policy, governance discipline, and staged expansion create a model that can endure beyond one donor or one cycle.
The upgraded site language draws a clear distinction between founder commitment and total endowment vision. That helps visitors understand both the direct pledge from Manraj Natt and the broader target that includes matched alumni contributions.
