Mangaluru: The Ambika Group of Educational Institutions at Puttur near here has decided to offer free education to the children of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack at Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Foundation Trust previously declared free education for children of displaced Kashmiri Pandits following atrocities committed against them. Following this, two students from Kashmir enrolled at Ambika Pre-University College in Puttur, said trust president Subrahmanya Nattoja. The Nattoja Foundation Trust , which runs Ambika Vidyalaya (CBSE), two separate Ambika Pre-University Colleges (for day scholars and residential students), and Ambika Degree College, will offer free education in any class — from LKG up to the degree level. In addition, food and accommodation will also be provided free of cost, he said. "For many years, Ambika Institution has been providing education at a concessional fee to the children of soldiers who sacrifice their personal lives to protect the nation. When soldiers from the Puttur area return after retirement, the institute has a tradition of honouring them with a parade. The group also has the distinction of having established the only Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial in South India, where a flame burns continuously in Puttur," he said. Students of Ambika Institutions submitted a memorandum to the Home Minister through the Assistant Commissioner of Puttur urging for the complete eradication of terrorism.
