NEW DELHI (India CSR): JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., a pioneer in the Indian tyre industry and a champion of inclusive growth, has announced the launch of the ‘JK Tyre Shiksha Sarthi Scholarship Scheme 2025’. Launched in 2023, the initiative is aimed exclusively at the daughters of heavy commercial vehicle drivers, recognising their invaluable role in powering the nation’s transport and logistics backbone.
The scholarship helps families overcome financial barriers that often restrict higher education for girls. In just two years, more than 320 young women have already benefitted, and this year the programme will expand to cover 500 meritorious students pursuing undergraduate education across five states viz. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. Beyond financial aid, the programme reflects JK Tyre’s commitment to enabling equal opportunities and nurturing the next generation of women achievers.
Anshuman Singhania, Managing Director, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., said “At JK Tyre, we firmly believe that education is a powerful catalyst of social transformation. Our commercial vehicle drivers are invaluable assets to the nation, and by supporting their daughters’ education, we are honouring their contribution. With the 2025 edition of the JK Tyre Shiksha Sarthi Scholarship, we are reaffirming our commitment to ensure that no dream is left unrealised due to limited resources. Educating a girl empowers a generation and builds the foundation for a stronger, more progressive society.”
The Shiksha Sarthi Scholarship 2025 is in collaboration with Buddy4Study and applications can be submitted online at www.b4s.in/a/JKTS1, ensuring a transparent and accessible process for all eligible candidates. Beyond the scholarship, JK Tyre is deeply engaged in community development across education, healthcare, livelihood, and environmental sustainability. Through initiatives like Shiksha Sarthi (Supporting Education), Arogya Sarthi (Healthcare), Aajivika Sarthi (Livelihood enhancement), and Jal-Vayu Sarthi (Environment & Water), the Company works to uplift underserved communities across India. These activities comprise Smart Classes in government schools, ITI adoption, career guidance, health camps, livelihood enhancement, skill training, and water conservation programs.
