Today, one of the Foundation's biggest outgoing expenses is charity being done through its direct donations to causes such as, support to scholarships, endowments, pension schemes and medical-aid, thus fulfilling directly many of the objectives. In keeping the objective of the organization to promote and encourage excellence in various walks of life and to help the needy without discrimination or favour but on the basis of the cause; scholarships are awarded to students at every level of education, from primary school to postgraduate research scholars.

Both men and women applicants are treated fairly and without bias. The numbers can range from a single scholarship granted to one student to cover their entire course of graduate studies or, to a number of students to help subsidies school/college fees. The trust has also sponsored and subsidized the presentation of research papers at symposia both in India and across the world.
