Dehradun: Indian-American economist Abhijit Banerjee, who earlier this week won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, has kept on supporting the education of two less unfortunate children at a school here in Jogiwala.

Aryan Thapa and Aman Dobryal, students of the Vivekanand School in Dehradun, have been receiving the Kabir Memorial Scholarship, set up by Banerjee in remembrance of his son who died an untimely death, for the past three years.
