The Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) has reported a fairly consistent success rate this year as well, as eleven of its scholars have succeeded in securing seats in various National Law Universities (NLUs)..The Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) has reported a fairly consistent success rate this year as well, as eleven of its scholars have succeeded in securing seats in various National Law Universities (NLUs)..Initially a student run movement to increase the representation of the backward strata of the society in the sphere of legal education, IDIA has come a long way. It now stands as a charitable trust constituted by eminent personalities like Prof. Shamnad Basheer (Ministry of HRD Chair Professor at NUJS), Justice Ruma Pal and Prof. M. P Singh..The gradual advances that have been brought about by the initiatives of IDIA have been the reason for generating a sense of pride and happiness among many, be it the volunteers who have been constantly in action to make the project a success, or the scholars who have been able to give a new direction to their lives, starring in their own success stories. These stories are a reflection of the inspiration, determination and hard work which has gone into forming this initiative..While the student volunteers of IDIA have been working harder by the day, travelling to local schools in under developed areas, spreading awareness about the program, and helping students to prepare for the entrance examinations, the scholars also have never disappointed, grabbing the opportunity with determination backed by hard work. Be it Donnie Ashok, who literally and metaphorically rose from the ashes to ace CLAT and secure a seat at GNLU, or Thangminlal Haokip, who hails from the village of L. Gamnom in Manipur where his father runs a small general store, or Yugal Jain, a visually impaired student hailing from an economically backward family, or Karthika Annamalai, who burned the midnight oil to secure a seat in NUJS, Kolkata, struggling with the monetary condition of her mother who is a quarry worker..Names are many, and so are the success stories behind them. However, the efforts put in the program face a critical challenge now to sustain these scholars through the law schools and further their dreams and ambitions. This challenge is the grave shortage of funds with the IDIA. While the deadline to pay the university fees that is June 9, 2012 is fast approaching, the IDIA is struggling to raise the money required to save the hard earned seats of its scholars. In the past, generous contributions from various donors have played a key role in the sustenance and furtherance of the dreams of many such scholars. A similar response is needed this time too and efforts are on to reach out to sponsors. The immediate requirement to pay the annual fee of the scholars comes up to roughly Rs. 16 lakhs. This is excluding the further costs that would be incurred to support the students through 5 years of law school..As such, a quick response is required in the form of contributions, big or small, to avoid jeopardizing the career of these students. Any contributions in this regard can be made through cheques, drafts or online transfers to the IDIA Charitable Trust Bank Account..Download detailed IDIA scholar profiles from here..The bank details are given below:.IDIA Charitable Trust.Address of Trust: No. 92/3, Adjacent to Home Town, Outer Ring Road, Martahalli, Bangalore-560037.Contact Person : Raghul Sudheesh.Mobile: +91 87221 53555.Phone : 91 80 41477473.Fax : 91 80 4097 6517.Name of the Bank: Canara Bank.Bank Branch Address: 145, 5th Sector, Outer Ring Road, HSR Layout, Bangalore-34.Phone : 91 80 4147 7473.Fax : 91 80 4097 6517.Account Number: 2673101012389.Account Type: Savings Bank Account.Customer ID: 65661031.IFSC Code: CNRB0002673.SWIFT Code: CNRBINBBLFD.MICR Code: 560015121
