Vels University has announced a free education scheme for children of COVID-19 front-line workers. The beneficiaries, who passed Class 12 this year, can join any of the 50 undergraduate courses offered at Vels University. Around 300 students will be selected based on merit.
This scheme can be availed by COVID-19 warriors, including nurses, the police, and sanitation workers. Children of those who died in the line of duty will get priority.
