TSET-Tulsabai Somani Educational Trust
In 1978 Tulsabai Somani Educational Trust was established by Dr.Satu M.Somani in memory of his late mother. It was originally maintained to help four needy local high school students to pursue their higher education. Over the years it incorporated many educational activities to motivate the young minds of the region near Hingoli, Maharashtra. The Trust awards a national young scientist in Neurology, Computer Science and in Medicine. It also awards the winner of a local essay competition. The Trust is financially possible through donations, which also support activities of local organizations such as Mahila Samaj (Women's group), Kabir Balak Mandir (Children School), a school for the blind, and a Local Library. It also provides a civic award. Recently a school for children has also been established in Hingoli.
