Virohan, a leading healthcare education company, on June 4 announced the launch of the Virohan Women in Healthcare Initiative, a ₹2 Crore scholarship pool designed to bring more women into India’s growing healthcare sector.
Every eligible female applicant whether enrolling in a 4–5-year bachelor’s degree or a 1-year university certificate program through Virohan will receive a ₹50,000 scholarship. Students with 75% or above in Class 12 would qualify for ₹1,00,000 and those with 90% or above for ₹2,00,000 scholarship, applied upfront against the program fee.
With Virohan, students can apply for programs at UPES (Dehradun), MIT University (Shillong), CMR University (Bengaluru), KIET Deemed to be University (Ghaziabad), HRIT University (Ghaziabad), Lingaya’s Vidyapeeth Deemed-to-be-University (Faridabad), Silver Oak University (Ahmedabad), and Vikrant University (Gwalior), among many others.
Commenting on the initiative, Nalin Saluja, Co-founder and CTO, Virohan, said: ” The world is facing a significant shortage of healthcare professionals and India has the talent to meet that demand, both at home and globally. What we have found is that awareness is the biggest barrier. Students don’t know allied and healthcare paths exist, and parents don’t know the industry demand and career progression these roles offer. This scholarship is our way of saying: the opportunity is real, the universities are ready, and we want more women to seize it.”
