Sustaining corpus ₹20,00,000 · 74% reached

₹14.9 lakh of ₹20 lakh: 74% of the way to sustaining its 2 scholarships. ₹5.12 lakh more and the fund sustains both awards every year.

The Trust’s rule: a fund of ₹10 lakh sustains one ₹50,000 scholarship a year. That is 20 times the award. At the assumed 7% a year, this fund earns about ₹1,04,164.

The 7% rate is the Trust’s assumption for the interest estimate, not a promise. Real interest depends on bank deposit rates.
