      Good step taken by Beary Forum towards educational scholarships to the Beary students for pursuing their higher studies in the field of medicines & engineering. I personally request the Beary Forum to consider providing scholarships to Beary Students of Journalism & Mass Media Communications as well. Because Bearies are really not keen to go in this field since it is not much lucrative area compared to Baanya=Byara (Trading). We need to pursue our young generation in this direction as it is the need of hour & community.
