Awareness Session on Minority & Government Schemes

Date: 7th February 2025

Venue: Crystal Hall, Hotel Parel International, Near Vile Parle Station

Project: Minority

Attendees: 60+

In a country abundant with resources and reforms, it is often awareness—not access—that becomes the missing link. On 7th February 2025, the JITO Juhu Chapter, under its Minority vertical, hosted a focused and enlightening Awareness Session on Minority & Government Schemes to address precisely this gap.

The session was graced by Shri Bhavesh Shah, Convener of Minority at the Apex team, who shed light on a sobering reality—government schemes for minority communities remain vastly underutilised, not due to lack of availability, but due to lack of information. With clarity and conviction, he detailed various avenues of support offered by both the Government and JITO, especially in areas of student assistance, scholarships, and development programs.

Attended by over 60 individuals, the dialogue extended beyond information—it sparked a sense of collective responsibility. Invited members engaged deeply, offering insights on how systems can be improved, streamlined, and made more student-centric for swifter support. In this quiet room of thinkers, a powerful message echoed: Knowledge is power—but applied knowledge is transformation. And with that, the session didn’t just inform—it inspired.
