Small Towns to Global Campuses: How Scholarships Help Dreams Take Flight
In one of the remote and disadvantaged villages of Tripura, Dipayan Bhowmick once dreamt of becoming an architect despite growing up far away from the opportunities usually associated with international education. Yet, through academic perseverance and the support of the National Overseas Scholarship, Dipayan went on to pursue a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Living, studying and working in Germany exposed him to a diverse international environment that transformed not only his academic understanding, but also his outlook towards society, sustainability and urban development. Drawing inspiration from both Indian and German approaches to architecture and urban design, he returned to India determined to use his learning. Today, Dipayan runs his own architectural practice, contributing towards society through his professional work while also creating opportunities for others. He is one amongst hundreds of Scheduled Caste students whose life trajectory has dramatically altered due to the National Overseas Scholarship (NOS), a Government of India initiative that funds postgraduate and doctoral studies at top foreign universities. The Scheme covers tuition, travel, living expenses and other academic requirements, ensuring that securing an admission into a world-class university is not determined by the economic circumstances of a students family. There are hundreds of such stories where a passport has been seen by the families for the first time ever, and instances of so many parents who send their children off to distant countries, whereas they themselves have not even set foot in colleges within the country. Since 2014, the NOS Scheme has supported students from families earning less than Rs. 8 lakh annually to universities across 21 countries, from UK to Germany, US to Australia. For many such families, even applying for admission to a foreign university would have required them to visit a cybercaf nearby. Dr. Vaithilingam Rajendiran, a Senior Scientist, who pursued a PhD in Chemistry at Oklahoma State University in the United States, grew up as the son of daily wage parents. He completed his schooling and undergraduate education in nearby government institutions and struggled through financial hardships while pursuing higher studies. Yet, with determination and relentless efforts, he completed his doctoral studies successfully and went on to build a distinguished scientific career. What these students bring back is not just a degree or a high-paying job but hopes, numerous opportunities and aspirations for people in their community. Scholarships such as the National Overseas Scholarship are often viewed merely as financial assistance programmes. In reality, they are long-term investments in human capital and knowledge creation. Developed countries are not built by roads, bridges or airports alone. They are also built in classrooms. Every student who crosses borders with such scholarships carries back the confidence and abilities to contribute to Indias vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. This is the compounding return of a single scholarship. The significance of scholarships lies not only in funding education but in creating an ecosystem of stability around students who are often navigating academic and social worlds for the very first time. For many first-generation learners, the challenge is not limited to securing admission. It is sustaining the journey thereafter, managing living expenses in expensive cities, purchasing books or digital devices, paying for accommodation and other costs that accompany such opportunities. Scholarships act as a crucial support system that enables students to focus on learning rather than worry about such day-to-day challenges. The scholarship operates without fanfare. There are no glossy campaigns and no celebrity endorsements. Over 12 years, 764 students have been selected on their academic merit to take admission in the most prestigious international colleges. In many ways, the National Overseas Scholarship Scheme is different due to the assistance it extends to each student. For a single scholar pursuing higher education at a leading global university, the cumulative financial aid, covering tuition fees, living expenses, airfare, insurance and other academic costs over the duration of the course, often exceeds Rs. 1 crore and may even go up to Rs. 2 crore. There are only a few public scholarship programmes in the world that make such a substantial investment in an individual student from a socially aspirational background. The significance of this support lies not only in the financial aid provided but also in what it intends to achieve. It envisions a national commitment to ensure that financial circumstances do not limit access to opportunities for students from certain communities. It is one of the most ambitious examples of educational investment in individual human potential. Indias scholarship ecosystem for Scheduled Caste students, spanning domestic premier institutions as well as overseas education, reflects this vision. It recognises that upliftment requires continuity, stability and sustained support. In many villages and small towns, the success of a single scholar changes the imagination of an entire generation. A younger sibling begins preparing for competitive examinations with greater confidence. A village sees international education not as an impossible dream, but as a reachable destination. The classrooms of Oxford, MIT or Columbia may appear geographically distant from Indias villages and small towns. Yet, through scholarships such as the National Overseas Scholarship, these distances are slowly shrinking. Applications for the National Overseas Scholarship are administered by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. Eligible candidates may apply through the National Scholarship Portal by 2 nd June 2026. (The author is Secretary, Department of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India.

Solinas Integrity Private Limited , a deep-tech robotics company incubated at IIT Madras, has been selected as the subject of a case study published on Harvard Business Publishing - the world's foremost repository of business school teaching cases used by institutions across six continents. Authored by Dr. Suresh Srinivasan from the Great Lakes Institute of Management, the case thoughtfully captures Solinas’ journey, innovation, and growing impact across India. ENDOBOT enables robotic inspection to detect defects inside water, sewer, & stormwater pipelines, while HOMOSEP eliminates manual scavenging through mechanized manhole cleaning Operating at the intersection of public infrastructure and industrial systems, Solinas has emerged as a key player working closely with municipal corporations across multiple states, as well as leading industries. The company focuses on solving critical challenges in underground infrastructure, ranging from manual scavenging, water pipeline leakages, and contamination risks to unsafe sewer systems, areas that are often invisible yet vital to public health and sustainability. Through its advanced robotics, AI, and digitization solutions, Solinas is enabling cities to reduce non-revenue water, improve service delivery, and make data-driven decisions. At the same time, its solutions are helping industries ensure operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure reliability. Solinas is among a small cohort of Indian startups — and fewer still from the WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) sector — to be featured in this publishing ecosystem. The case is now available as a teaching resource for MBA programs and business schools worldwide. The HBS case study highlights how Solinas is building a scalable and impact-driven business model in a traditionally underserved sector. It explores the company’s approach to navigating complex government ecosystems, establishing credibility in industrial markets, and leveraging technology to create measurable outcomes. “There is no playbook for building a technology company in the water and sanitation sector. Solinas has been built through constant experimentation and learning. Having studied Harvard Business School case studies during my education, it is incredibly meaningful to now see our journey featured as one,” said Divanshu Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, Solinas. The case is expected to serve as a global learning resource for students, policymakers, and business leaders, offering insights into innovation, public-private collaboration, and building a startup in critical infrastructure sectors in WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene). About Solinas Integrity Private Limited Solinas is a deep-tech startup in the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector, incubated at IIT Madras. The company focuses on underground urban water and wastewater infrastructure, developing robotics and AI-led solutions for the inspection, cleaning, digitization, and management of underground networks. Its portfolio includes robotic inspection systems, AI-powered analytics platforms, and the Manhole Cleaning Robot designed to enable safer and mechanized sewer maintenance. These technologies allow cities and utilities to visualize, assess, clean, and manage infrastructure that is otherwise invisible, improving safety, reducing non-revenue water, and eliminating the need for manual scavenging. Recognized and honoured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Solinas partners with urban local bodies, water utilities, and industries to enhance the safety, efficiency, and resilience of critical public infrastructure. Solinas’ solutions have been deployed across more than 30 cities in India, enabling large-scale inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of underground water and wastewater systems. The company has worked with leading urban utilities and municipal bodies including Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB), Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB), Sangli, Miraj Municipal Corporation, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation, Tripura Jal Board, Greater Chennai Corporation, and Noida Authority. Its technology supports significant reductions in water loss, saving up to 600,000 litres per kilometre of inspection per day while lowering operational costs by up to five times. ENDOBOT Robotic Crawler , and AI-driven analytics platforms, Solinas enables a proactive, data-driven approach to infrastructure management while advancing worker safety, operational efficiency, and climate resilience. The company has also expanded internationally, with its ENDOBOT robotic solution deployed with Dubai Municipality, and is now planning to scale its presence across the Middle East.
