The scholarship is specifically for young people in the age group of 18 to 30 years.
Minds United Trust, Mysuru, has decided to offer scholarships to individuals from Mysuru, Mandya and Chamarajanagar, who will sign up for a basic course in ornithology and clear the examination.
The Minds United Trust also known as Minds United for Health Sciences and Humanity, a registered public charitable trust, which has been contributing to nature conservation and awareness through various initiatives, is now keen on encouraging individuals to expand their knowledge about birds with a course in ornithology.
A free basic course in ornithology has been introduced as part of SWAYAM, the National Programme on Technology Enabled Learning (NPTEL), a project of Government of India’s Ministry of Human Resource Development, said a statement by Minds United Trust.

Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
