Scholars and excellers

May I request you to give us a short resume of our girls and boys who go for higher and special studies abroad and do exceedingly well? It could be similar to the Milestones data on Zoroastrian births, weddings and deaths published in your magazine.

Most of them bring us credit by coming in the top listing. Many are forced to settle abroad due to lack of research facilities in India. I am sure your readers would be interested to know in what special subjects our children outshine others.

These scholars and achievers are scattered all over the world. Do the trusts have any follow-up program? Maybe at the time of their departure they could be asked to keep in closer contact with the trusts. A small committee of eminent professionals should be appointed to give them community support. Maybe parents and relatives can send you the necessary information about their present status, occupations and achievements.

As and when Parsiana receives data on Zoroastrian students who have excelled we make mention of their achievements in the magazine.
