MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday said that it would give a package of grants worth over Rs 7 lakh to child prodigy S Chandra Sekar, the youngest M-Tech student at IIT, Madras.
Handing over a cheque of Rs 3.5 lakh to Sekar in order to pay his tuition fees, TCS Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, S Ramadorai, said that the company would hand him the rest of the amount while he does his research activities.
"We will give around Rs 2.5 crore in order to lend support to around 2,000 young scientific talents for their education and research. Last year, we spent Rs 1.8 crore to help 1,100 students pursuing their future dreams," he added.
"The association between TCS and Sekar also represents a new model for collaboration to develop R&D talent in the country. His research interests in the areas of computer network security and cryptography are synergistic with TCS' own R&D efforts in these areas," Ramadorai said.
