Corporate Responsibility

The Merck India Charitable Trust Scholarship Programme was established in 2005 to encourage talented students in India to pursue higher education.  The objective of the programme is to adopt these students by sponsoring their key educational expenses for as long as they wish to study and prevent them from dropping out of academics due to lack of resources.  Following a contribution of Rs. 3 crores to the corpus, the Trust has financed the education of 168 students since its inception.
