Tata Capital Pankh Scholarship Programme for General Graduation / Polytechnic / Diploma / ITI Students (2026–27)

The Tata Capital Pankh Scholarship Program 2026-27, an initiative by Tata Capital Limited, aims to support the higher education of meritorious students from economically weaker sections of society. The name 'Pankh', which means 'wings' in Hindi, symbolises the program's belief that financial constraints should never limit the aspirations of talented young minds. Under this program, students currently studying in Classes 11 or 12, as well as those pursuing undergraduate degrees, diplomas, or ITI courses at recognised institutions across India, are eligible for financial assistance. Launched as part of Tata Capital Limited's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, the scholarship seeks to eliminate financial barriers that hinder deserving students from pursuing their educational goals. By empowering students with access to quality education, the program contributes to nurturing a more educated, skilled, and self-reliant generation.
