Mumbai: Virgin Atlantic Airlines has invited applications from Indian students to share their vision on use of education to address world's problems. The selected entry will win Rs 5 lakh scholarship from the airline. The contest is open to students travelling to UK and US for studies.
Richard Branson, President, Virgin Atlantic said, “Young people are the planet’s future. While students work hard to fulfill their academic ambitions, it’s important to remind them that education is not just a means to an end of getting a job and earning money.
With the privilege of education comes the responsibility to give back and help others. Every generation owes it to the next to try to solve the problems humanity faces and to care for our beautiful planet. My advice is to be bold, challenge the status quo and believe in yourself.''
