Sawhney Family Scholarship Fund

The Sawhney Family Scholarship Fund was set up by Vinod Sawhney’s children to celebrate his 70th birthday, his many accomplishments, and his legacy of positively influencing so many through medicine, leadership and other contributions to society. Just as Vinod benefited from a full scholarship to attend medical school in New Delhi which put him on a path to success, this scholarship will enable exceptional students across India to pursue higher education. Thank you for your incredible support.

After over 7 years as our Executive Director, Gouri Sadhwani has decided to transition out of her role over the next few months. Under Gouri’s leadership our income increased by over 1000% allowing us to significantly increase grant making towards Akanksha’s 21 schools in India.

We are extremely grateful for her leadership. The Board is searching for our next Executive Director and hope to share an update with you on this soon.
