The Gomantak Maratha Samaj scholarship is aimed at providing support to students belonging to specific communities within the Gomantak Maratha Samaj in Goa. These communities, including Devli, Bhavin, Perni, Kalvant, and others, have historically played important roles in temple environments, with duties ranging from cleaning temple premises to performing dances and singing during religious processions.
The scholarship program recognizes the significance of these communities and aims to assist students from these backgrounds in pursuing their educational aspirations. Through this initiative, the Gomantak Maratha Samaj seeks to empower and uplift students by providing financial assistance to support their academic endeavours.
