SG GSC India Talent Scholarship Date:   Wednesday , November 03, 2010 Sociètè Gènèrale Global Solution Centre (SG GSC), a subsidiary of the France based Sociètè Gènèrale Group, as part of their CSR initiative has expressed interests in addressing the issue of employability skill gap. In an attempt to nullify the employability skill gap in India they have launched a unique scholarship program - ‘SG GSC India Talent Scholarship’, which promote professional education for students with financial constraints. The scholarship includes the fee for the complete duration of the course; including tuition, boarding and lodging. This academic year, SG GSC offered scholarships to 11 students from Indian Institute of Management; Bangalore, Indian Institute of Management; Kozhikode, and International Institute of Information Technology; Bangalore. SG GSC will also assign a mentor from their senior leadership team, who will maintain regular contact with the student, acting as a ‘friend, philosopher and guide’, as well as monitor their progress. “India has tremendous intellectual capital which doesn’t surface in view of lack of the ability of the individual to afford exposure through good renowned Indian Institutes. It is SG GSC’s attempt to make this possible for few highly deserving students through financial assistance”, says Nippi Kochhar, CEO of Sociètè Gènèrale Global Solution Centre.
