Reciprocating BPP aid

Way back in 1953, the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) had given Boman M. Mirza a loan scholarship towards meeting a part of his expenses, for undergoing a professional course, in Britain.

Like most of the recipients, he repaid the loan, promptly, on his return to India. Over the years he had not forgotten the BPP having extended him the help when it was needed. In November 2005, he sent in a cheque for Rs 1.50 lakhs, as a donation "to be utilized by the Trust for the benefit of students aspiring to advance their careers abroad.”

To be fair to the other recipients, a few of them have donated monies to the BPP, in addition to the repayment of the loans. The BPP thanks such donors unreservedly. Amongst such donors, Mirza stands the tallest.
