Patni Education Trust

Brief History

The Patni Education Trust (formerly “Patni Education Committee”) was established in the year 1963, by the elders of Patni Sunnat Jamaat,Surat. It was formally registered as a charitable trust in the year 2006. Its primary objective at inception was to provide monetary help to the poor and needy students from within the Patni fraternity in the form of educational scholarships. The “Trust” has provided financial aid to hundreds of such students over the years, and helped shape many careers. Alhamdulillah.

Current Acitivty

Having begun at a very modest scale, the “Trust” has evolved, in over 50 years of its existence, into a body providing educational scholarships to school students as also to those pursuing higher professional education at university level. An average of more than 300 students avail of our (the trusts’) school fee scholarships annually and more than 70 students avail of college/university scholarships. Our annual budget for the academic year 2022-23 has already exceeded Rs.35 lakhs. We conduct an “Annual Prize Distribution Function” to honour and felicitate meritorious students.

Besides this the “Trust” has extended its activities to encourage and guide students to pursue higher education. We conduct “student motivation and career counselling” seminars and “exam training workshops” annually. Responses from students, parents and especially women in these activities are indeed encouraging.

Future Goals

Immediate Goals:

Our records and surveys within the Jamaat reveal a new awakening and eagerness for higher education. Most students have an urge to pursue higher modern education in varied fields like medicine,engineering,IT and computer science,management,accounting etc. and make successful careers. All they need is encouragement, proper guidance and financial support to help them move ahead.

We, at the “Trust”, intend to provide all necessary forms of help to our students. Our role would extend from encouragement, motivation, mentoring and career guidance as also to provide financial help.

Long Term Goals:

To establish institutions imparting high quality education at affordable prices.
To establish institutions providing job-oriented professional courses.
To conduct vocational training courses especially for girl students.
