The Suzlon Group has unveiled the Shri Tulsi Tanti Scholarship Program, 2025, 26, which is the company's main educational initiative that attempts to help students of exceptional merit but low income backgrounds who have a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) career ambition. This scholarship commemorates the memory of Tulsi Tanti, the founder of Suzlon and a pioneer of the Indian renewable energy sector. Besides being a visionary leader, Tulsi Tanti was a firm believer in inclusive education, and in this way, his contribution to both the industry and the society is well appreciated.

This initiative is primarily designed to open up educational avenues for students who have great academic capabilities but lack the necessary financial support. In fact, the girls, in STEM, focused scholarship aligns perfectly with Suzlon's overall mission and core values of sustainability, equity, and education as a means of building the nation in the long run.
