The Aditya Birla
Group. Epitomising the philosophy of its legendary leader
- the late Aditya Vikram Birla - one man who made a difference.
Rooted in Indian values, yet global in vision. Rock solid
in fundamentals. Nurturing a culture where success does not
come in the way of the need to learning afresh, to keep innovating,
to keep experimenting. Transcending the conventional barriers
of business - working in 3,000 villages reaching out to 7
million people every year, because we care.
The Aditya Birla Scholarship Programme is the Group's way
of pursuing Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla's ideals of spawning leaders
with a passion to excel. Attained through fostering outstanding
academic excellence and humane leadership values, in partnership
with select IITs, BITS (Pilani), IIMs, XLRI and law campuses.
Instituted in 1999, the Aditya Birla Scholarships provide
an excellent opportunity for Scholars to learn through networking
with the country's first truly global conglomerate. While
there is no binding to join the Group after the completion
of their course,
scholars are welcome to work with us should they qualify to
do so.
