Under the scheme of the Kalpana Chawla Group of Institutions at Hisar, free education will be provided to eight girls in the IT sector and two girls in B Ed college.
The scheme will also give an opportunity to two girls every year to visit NASA and USA.
The astronaut's father B L Chawla would launch the scheme here on August 8 next and he would also interact with the boys and girls of the Institutions, Chairman of the Group Sunil Sharma told reporters today.
