Our merit-cum-need based scholarship and skill-building program aim to support these girls to pursue their education and make them future-ready by providing varied technical and soft skills training and mentorship that complements their academic learning. Many of our girls have become successful women leaders associated with corporates, academic institutions, and medical institutes across the globe. They have also turned into compassionate citizens, supporting their families and communities around them. All these LILA Daughters are lifelong members of our ever-growing LPF family,” said Lila Poonawalla, Chairperson, LPF, and the recipient of the Padma Shri award.
