Mr. Andrew J Lock, President of Herman Miller International, Mr. Karthik Shethia, Sales Director SAARC regions, Herman Miller and Mr. Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman of Bearys Group were all present to launch this noble venture. The vision of this scheme is to facilitate good education for the children of the lower income employees of BIT. The purely voluntary contribution made by all staff and faculty of BIT is the source of income for this fund. At the end of the financial year, the management gives a matching contribution to that collected through the year. This amount is then distributed to cover the educational expenses of the applicants based on certain parameters. Mr. Bearys gave an initial contribution of Rs. 1,00,000 to the fund on behalf of the management. Mr. Andrew J Lock and Mr. Karthik Shethia both heartily congratulated the students and faculty for this noble venture and wished it all success.
