Impressed with their success by overcoming all odds, a US-based foundation has come forward to finance the MBBS studies of five poor students of Odisha, who are products of 'Zindagi' programme run by a non- governmental organisation, in medical colleges in the state. The scholarship for the five-year MBBS course was awarded by California's 'Saloni Heart Foundation' to the five students who had cracked NEET exam in 2020 and secured admission in medical colleges of Odisha. The students were felicitated on a virtual platform attended by leading medical professionals of the US and founder of the 'Zindagi Foundation' Ajay Bahadur Singh on late Saturday evening. The US-based group will also connect these budding doctors with America's leading pediatric cardiologists and pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons through the mentoring programme.
