PADSAD | Beyond Marks: Redesigning Scholarships and schemes for Inclusive Education

The Voice debates if scholarships value true talent or just marks. A discussion with Bhaskar Nayak, Shashwat Kamat, and Sairaj Dhond

Are scholarship schemes truly recognising talent across all streams, or are they still rooted in a narrow, marks-driven definition of merit?


In this engaging debate, The Voice explores whether current education policies disproportionately favour traditional academic paths, like science and technical fields, while overlooking excellence in arts, commerce, sports, and emerging careers. Featuring insights from Bhaskar Nayak (former Director of Higher Education), Shashwat Kamat (Performance Analyst), and Sairaj Dhond (founder of Wakao Foods). The discussion delves into whether it’s time to move beyond marks and adopt a more inclusive, holistic approach to merit.


Join the conversation as we question if our scholarship frameworks are truly future-ready and reflective of diverse talents and aspirations.
