Online Hall of Fame
The rationale for forming Taksha Education Philanthropy Hall of Fame (TEPHOF) with its inductees being collectively known as The Taksha Group, is based on discussions with several NRI sponsors of university chairs and education programs who felt that, in hindsight, they would have funded these programs differently knowing what they came to know later about the universities’ selection of chair holders that sometimes did not represent or conform to the original mandates. They wished that they had access to the experience of other NRI sponsors, who could have provided the needed guidance. Hence, the need to form this Group and fill that void!
