More importantly, the Foundation also reiterates RM's commitment to the welfare and upliftment of the community that it is part of.

This initiative is close to our hearts and resonates with the RM Group purpose which is “Enriching the lives of learners worldwide"

The RM India Foundation supports 51 students through the Graeme Dewart Scholarship for 2021. Out of which 16 students are school students and the other 35 are college students. The RM India Foundation takes the responsibility of paying school/college fees of these students.
