Evolution of P.C.Trust The inspiration was promoted by friends, nicknamed sarcastically as SUNSET COMRADES, It includes Cyril Pereira, Esmeraldo Gomes,Vivian Almeida, Constance D` Costa , Olavo Cotta, Carmo Lopes and me, who regularly met in the evenings. An unregistered Organisation "Chinchiim Awards and Scholarship" was established in late sixties .Christmas Raffle was planned to raise funds to award cash prize to each student at SSC in all the 3 schools. A letter of appreciation and Rs 50/ distributed from the proceeds. To- day Trust issues designer Certificates with cash. A photo is printed with the profiles on the reverse.The other Awards then were in Science/Social Science ,Konkanni (A.V.C), Fr Oscar award by Chinchinim Villagers, Text Book fund through` donors. Teacher award and Scholarships by Dr. Viberto Mascarenhas till completion of Science Degree Course, The dispersion of friends made continuation of the project difficult. The funds in deposit over ten years were Rs 25000/. The formulation of new schemes, raising of funds thorough donations became solely my responsibility and I pursued with determination The organisation was Registered as P.C.Trust {People of Chinchinim Trust) in 2006.The founder Trustees NelsonLopes, Fidelis Pereira,Cypriano Lopes, Leena Lopes Sorenson Gracias, Two founder Trustees passed away another two resigned for personal reasons. There is provision to co opt two more Trustees, but not many are willing to shoulder responsibility.Presently the Trustees are Leena Lopes, Wilfred Mascarenhas, Kennedy Agusto Pereira, Shodan Verlekar and myself The intention of the Trust was to reduce migration of Village students to the city through incentives. The schools were struggling to maintain strength. First student claims around 50-60 thousands in awards at SSC. Students from the village studying elsewhere often inquire of their eligibility.It is difficult to infer conclusively whether cash incentives have achieved the purpose, but S.M.A in particular has produced Rank Holders in SSC, Std XII, Arts/Science. and graduate level. Admission is not off the shelf, sometimes it is very difficult, if not enrolled early. Cash incentives are certainly an attraction,inducements and serves as special, exclusive feature of Chinchinim Village. The appreciation from donors, beneficiaries, parents, schools and society make our endeavour worthwhile and purposeful Schemes.and awards at SSC There are a number of awards in each category, mostly sponsored and others founded by contributions. 1-First, Second, Third Students, First and second in subjects, First Boy ,Girl and also in ChinchinimDeussua Panchayat Area. 2- First( student,Boy, Girl, Konkanni) in A.V.C Villages,First student in A.V,C.C, First student at Rosary,H.S Navelim, First in Science at Guardian Angel H.
