KP Group & PP Savani University launch Urjanoor Scholarship in renewable energy & related fields for underprivileged students

KP Human Development Foundation, the philanthropic arm of KP Group, in collaboration with PP Savani University, has launched the Urja Noor Scholarship programme, aimed at supporting underprivileged students pursuing education in renewable energy and related fields.
The initiative was launched on the 55th birthday of KP Group Founder, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD), Dr. Faruk G. Patel. It will provide fully funded education, including tuition fees, hostel accommodation, meals and transportation to deserving students enrolled in B. Tech and diploma programmes.
The scholarship program is designed to build a skilled workforce for the clean energy sector while ensuring access to quality education for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. As many as 92 students have already availed themselves of the scholarship, with plans to expand its scale in the coming years. On the same lines, presently 30 students from Botswana have taken the benefit of this newly launched program. A total of 120 students this year will get the scholarship, out of which 30 will be from Botswana, where KP Group is already investing $4 billion, and will also be enrolled under this initiative.
Commenting on the initiative, KP group CMD Dr. Faruk G. Patel said, “Our aim has always been to support young people who have the potential to succeed but lack access to the right environment. At KP Human Development Foundation, we focus on enabling underprivileged students to pursue their aspirations. The purpose is not just to fund studies, but to nurture skills and talent and build a strong renewable energy workforce for India.”
For many beneficiaries, the programme marks their first exposure to a university environment, with access to classrooms, laboratories and structured learning. The scholarship ensures a stable ecosystem with accommodation, meals and transport, enabling students to focus on academic and practical skill development in areas of energy, sustainability and technology.
The programme also includes industry exposure and employment pathways, with a focus on preparing students for careers in the renewable energy sector. KP Human Development Foundation will provide continued mentorship and support throughout the students’ academic journey.
