To address issues like poverty, population control, unemployment, and human rights, there is no more effective starting point than ensuring access to education for underprivileged children. Education not only equips these children with the tools for a secure future but also molds them into responsible citizens, both at the national and global levels. Despite the implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act in 2010, which mandated free and compulsory education for children aged 6-14, the educational journey for many children in the country has not progressed steadily even a decade later. Due to the factors like socio-economic circumstances of parents and inadequate understanding of the education among guardians, Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti sponsor the education of the underprivileged children with the help a donor and also initiate social awareness programmes to project the value of education system for the radical change.
In my impoverished neighborhood, numerous parents fret over their children’s education. The relentless grip of poverty and adverse circumstances has kept us in a perpetual struggle to make ends meet. Many young girls have been unable to progress beyond the eighth grade. My father, who works as a tailor, found himself jobless for the past two years due to the pandemic. To support our family, my mother, a homemaker, had to take on a job as a maid. Like so many others, I was on the verge of dropping out of school. Without the invaluable scholarship I received, continuing my education would have been nearly impossible. My aspiration is to delve into the field of science, particularly Biotechnology, and extend a helping hand to young girls in my community, enabling them to complete their education.

My father used to be in the business of selling vegetables, but when the pandemic hit, everything came to a standstill, and he had to stay at home.
There came a point where we could only afford to eat once a day to ensure we had enough food for the next day. Schools were also forced to close, and I was uncertain about whether I would ever get the chance to continue my studies. Then, one day, teacher visited our home and explained that they would now conduct classes at the village temple. Only a small group of 8-10 children would attend each session, and everyone had to wear masks.
During that time, I was on the verge of giving up, but that visit from my teacher and the commencement of these cluster classes became my ray of hope. Now, the school has reopened, my father has resumed his work, and I am putting in my utmost effort to pursue my dreams.

When I expressed my desire to become a doctor to my father, his face lit up with the most immense smile. He felt immense pride in my aspirations and wholeheartedly encouraged me to stay committed and resilient. He has consistently been my most fervent advocate and source of inspiration.
Throughout my upbringing, I observed my father working tirelessly to provide for our family. He juggled multiple jobs and devoted long hours to his work, always maintaining a cheerful demeanor and a positive outlook. Whether it meant enduring extended work shifts or taking on extra responsibilities, my father consistently prioritized our family’s needs.
Despite the obstacles he encountered, he never wavered or lost sight of his objectives. He instilled in me the significance of diligence and demonstrated that with unwavering determination and effort, anything can be achieved. It is due to his unwavering support that I am resolute in my pursuit of my dream to become a doctor and make a positive impact on the lives of others.

\Every day, I cover several kilometers on foot to reach my school. During this daily journey, I encounter a diverse group of people on the streets. Some of them are walking just like me, some are cycling, and others are comfortably seated in air-conditioned cars. Despite these differences in modes of transportation, I can’t help but notice the common thread that unites us all. These individuals put in significant effort, with their pursuit of education being the most prominent aspect that sets them apart.
My aspiration to become a nurse is motivated not only by financial considerations but also by my genuine passion for assisting those who lack access to basic healthcare. I vividly remember the days when my father battled a fever for three weeks yet continued to work tirelessly to provide for our family’s needs. People like my father, who persevere through illness, discomfort, and heavy burdens, are the kind of individuals I aspire to support. I am currently a ninth-grade student at GOVT SCHOOL in Sultanpuri, New Delhi.
Living in a family of five with just one breadwinner is quite challenging. It becomes particularly tough and demoralizing when your own family doesn’t encourage your aspirations. My father isn’t supportive of my educational pursuits. He consistently advises me to dedicate more time to assisting my mother with household responsibilities and looking after my younger siblings rather than focusing on my studies. Without the scholarship that supports my education, I would have likely discontinued my schooling. My ambition is to become a journalist. Thanks to this financial assistance, I’ve also developed a better grasp of subjects that I previously found difficult. The life skills training has enhanced my communication abilities, which are crucial for my future career. Sameer Khan has received the scholarship to complete her higher education.
