    Pradeep

    🌟 "Re-Dreaming My Future: Pradeep’s Journey with Sarthak" 🌟

    Pradeep's life took a drastic turn in 2017 when a devastating accident left him with a locomotor disability. At the time, Pradeep was in his final year of B.Com, filled with dreams and aspirations for his future. But the accident not only put his life on hold but took three years for him to fully recover. Even after completing his degree in 2020, the struggles continued.

    Pradeep faced the harsh reality that, despite his qualifications, employers were unwilling to hire him due to his disability. For nearly four years, he applied for jobs but faced rejection after rejection. It was one of the darkest periods of his life, and he feared he would never secure employment.

    Then, at the advice of a friend, Pradeep reached out to Sarthak Educational Trust’s Hyderabad Center. This marked a significant turning point in his journey. He enrolled in Sarthak’s training and placement program, which completely transformed his outlook and career trajectory.

    During the program, Pradeep interacted with other individuals with disabilities, learning from their experiences, which not only inspired him but also boosted his self-confidence. His depression gradually gave way to confidence, and Sarthak’s trainers helped improve his communication skills, making him much more effective in interviews.

    With the skills he gained, Pradeep was well-prepared for the job market. Sarthak's team arranged an interview for him with Teleperformance, a trusted hiring partner. Thanks to his newfound skills and confidence, Pradeep successfully cleared the interview and secured a position as a Feedback Analyst in March 2024, with a salary of 2.0 LPA. The job is work-from-home, offering him both financial stability and professional growth.

    Seven months into his role at Teleperformance, Pradeep is thriving. His confidence is at an all-time high, and he is once again dreaming about the future he had envisioned before the accident. He reflects, "Sarthak has completely changed my life. Living with a disability is not a challenge; it makes you special and capable of doing something different in life."

    Pradeep’s journey from despair to success exemplifies the life-changing impact of Sarthak Educational Trust’s support and the power of resilience.

    Rakesh Das

    🌟 "Rakesh’s Journey: Balancing Work and Family with Local Job Placement" 🌟

    Rakesh Das's quest for a nearby job seemed impossible until he connected with Sarthak Educational Trust at the Guwahati Center. Rakesh had been living a content life, employed at a healthcare company, but a tragedy in 2023 changed everything. The sudden loss of his father left him as the sole breadwinner, with more responsibilities on his shoulders. Having already lost his mother, Rakesh now faced not only financial difficulties but also the need to be close to his remaining family member, his wife.

    Despite his locomotor disability, traveling had never been a problem for Rakesh. However, the long hours spent commuting made it hard for him to balance work with his family duties. Wanting to be near his home in case of emergencies, Rakesh made the tough decision to leave his job at the healthcare company and began searching for a role closer to home. The job search, however, turned out to be much more challenging than he had anticipated, and at one point, Rakesh felt like giving up on his goal.

    His situation took a positive turn when he connected with Sarthak Educational Trust. Enrolling in their no-cost training and placement program, Rakesh received the opportunity to further enhance his computer skills. Sarthak's Job Mapping process ensured that his disability, education, and personal requirements were considered in finding the right job. After this thorough process, the Sarthak placement team arranged an interview for Rakesh at a nearby Flipkart office.

    Flipkart, a long-time partner of Sarthak, has consistently supported the hiring of persons with disabilities. The company offered Rakesh a position as a Data Entry Operator, turning his dream of working near home into reality. Now earning 2 LPA, Rakesh is able to manage both his work and family responsibilities with ease.

    Rakesh expressed his gratitude, sharing, “Sarthak understood my problem and helped me secure a placement. I am now able to handle both my work and my home, without spending hours commuting.â€

    He also acknowledged the Sarthak team for helping him adjust to his new role by guiding him through essential computer skills, which have made his work effortless.

    Sarthak Educational Trust aims to make every candidate’s dream come true by providing job opportunities tailored to their needs and expectations, ensuring they can lead balanced and fulfilling lives.

    Shirish

    🌟 "Shirish’s Journey: From Dreams on Hold to Education & Employment Success" 🌟

    Education plays a crucial role in Shirish's life, and with the support of Sarthak, he has experienced a positive transformation. Shirish, a young man with a hearing impairment, always dreamed of continuing his education. But after finishing 12th grade, his family’s financial situation forced him to stop studying and take up a job to support them. He wanted to at least complete his graduation, but with no job and no way to finance his education, his dreams seemed out of reach.

    Things changed when a hearing-impaired friend told him about Sarthak Educational Trust’s Varanasi Center, where he had received training and job placement support. Encouraged by this, Shirish contacted the center in 2023 and joined Sarthak’s skill-building program.

    Shirish’s journey wasn’t easy at first. Initially, Shirish lacked professional sign language skills, but through the sector-based training provided by Sarthak, he gained invaluable knowledge. Through Sarthak’s program, he learned everything from how to communicate in a workplace using sign language to key skills needed in the retail sector. He connected deeply with Sarthak’s sign language trainer, who patiently taught him every step of the way, including professional etiquette and customer service skills.

    Shirish’s hard work paid off when he secured a job as a Sales Associate with Being Human, a company known for empowering people with disabilities. A year into his job, Shirish received a salary hike from ₹10,000 to ₹13,000 per month, a sign of his progress and value to the company.

    Most importantly, with his new job, Shirish could finally finance his education. He enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts (BA) program and is now completing his first year. Balancing work and studies, Shirish is overjoyed to be back on the path to achieving his dreams. His family, who once needed his financial support, now proudly stands by him as he manages both his job and education.

    "I never thought I could go back to studying, but Sarthak helped me turn my life around," Shirish says. Grateful for the support he received, Shirish now encourages other persons with disabilities to keep pushing forward, to never give up on their education, and to make the most of opportunities available to them.

    Shirish’s story is a reminder that with the right support, anyone can overcome challenges and achieve their dreams.

    In our life we all want to be in a place with peace, comfort, stress-free, and a successful life. But is it possible with everyone? All of us complain about what we don’t have, but on the other hand, we sometimes escape what we have!

    She grew older, seeing her parents struggling for her to have a good life and started thinking, why is life not easy? Why am I like this? How can I help my parents?

    After completing her graduation, she was focused on getting a job. She had given interview one’s, she passed the first round but all and sundry is seeing her like why she was here? She ignored them and focused on giving interviews. Continuous rejection shattered her and even she refused to choose Sarthak’s training but a detailed interaction with the help desk staff cleared her doubts.

    She enrolled herself for training for a three months course and put her 100% efforts into equipping herself with employability skills and the rest was a very blissful journey. Now she is working at Saarathee CRM private Ltd as a Customer Care Executive designation, with a monthly income of Rs. 10,500/- She is very happy as she got work from home opportunity.

    Akshara

    🌟 "Akshara’s Journey: From Silence to Speech – A New Life Unfolds" 🌟

    Late diagnosis of disability led to developmental delay in Akshara's case. Born healthy, Akshara was a bright-eyed baby who brought endless joy to her family. However, as the years passed, her parents noticed something wasn’t quite right. Akshara struggled with speech and understanding simple words, had trouble making friends, and lacked social skills. Her teachers became concerned as well, noticing her difficulty paying attention in class.

    When Akshara started school, her lack of response and difficulties in studies became alarming. At the age of 7, she was diagnosed with Hard of Hearing, leaving her family devastated.

    Her parents, confused about how to help, found hope through Sarthak Educational Trust’s Early Intervention Center. A plan of action was created that involved speech therapy and special education to address her developmental delays.

    Speech Therapy: Finding Her Voice

    Akshara’s journey to speaking began with speech therapy. Her therapist worked on simple exercises to strengthen her orofacial muscles, and through persistence, Akshara produced her first sounds. Slowly, these sounds transformed into words, and soon, Akshara could say “Papa,†“Mumma,†and “Babaâ€â€”milestones that filled her family with hope.

    Special Education: Unlocking Her Academic Potential

    Alongside speech therapy, Akshara’s special educator worked tirelessly to introduce her to basic academic concepts. Initially, she struggled with the alphabet and numbers, but eventually, she began recognizing letters and numbers. Each small academic victory was a huge step toward her future success.

    A New Chapter: Confidence and Growth

    Thanks to Sarthak, Akshara’s transformation was remarkable. From a child locked in her own silent world, she became a confident young girl who could now speak, learn, and connect with others. Her communication skills improved, and her quiet personality started to shine brightly.

    Harshita

    🌟 "Harshita’s Journey: Overcoming Down Syndrome with Early Intervention" 🌟

    Harshita, a 10-year-old girl and the only child of her parents, was diagnosed with Down syndrome at an early age. As she grew, her parents observed that she struggled with speech clarity, communication, and coordination, often walking on her toes and facing challenges with writing and remembering words.

    "It was painful to see her sitting alone while other kids played together. I wished for her to experience the joy of being part of the group," her mother shared. Feeling isolated and unsure of how to help their daughter, her parents searched tirelessly for the right kind of therapy and guidance.

    The Turning Point: Sarthak’s Early Intervention Program

    Their journey led them to Sarthak Educational Trust’s Early Intervention program in Gurgaon, where Harshita’s life began to change. The therapists at Sarthak designed a personalized plan for her that focused on improving her communication, motor skills, and cognitive abilities.

    In the early stages, progress was slow but steady. Her parents soon noticed that Harshita was speaking with greater clarity, which had a profound impact on her interactions with others.

    "The first time she clearly said the name of her favorite fruit, I couldn’t believe it. It was a moment I had been waiting for," her mother recalled with emotion.

    Challenges and Growth

    While her journey was challenging, Harshita’s determination and the dedicated support of the Sarthak team began to yield visible results. Though she occasionally still walked on her toes, therapy sessions focused on improving her balance and posture, helping her become more aware of using her entire foot.

    In terms of learning, Harshita made incredible strides. She learned to identify fruits, grasped the concept of big vs. small and tall vs. short, and even began doing simple addition and subtraction. Her ability to understand sequencing — recognizing what comes before, after, and in between — amazed her family.

    Breaking the Mobile Screen Addiction

    Harshita was also addicted to mobile screens, which had become a major concern for her parents. “She wouldn’t eat without a phone in her hand. It was like she couldn’t function without it,†her mother shared gratefully. Therapy at Sarthak helped her break this habit, giving her parents much-needed relief.

    Harshita’s story showcases the power of early intervention and how it can bring life-changing improvements for children with special needs. The therapy at Sarthak not only helped her develop critical skills but also gave her a sense of confidence that her parents had long hoped for.

    Harsh’s transformation was nothing short of remarkable. Six months into therapy at Sarthak Educational Trust’s Early Intervention Center, this once distant, frustrated boy was now calm, communicative, and even writing alphabets.

    Challenges Before Intervention

    But just a year ago, his parents were lost and overwhelmed. Harsh’s father, a small stationery shop owner, and his mother, a homemaker, didn’t know how to help their son. Harsh had always been different—staying to himself, avoiding play with other kids, and struggling with basic tasks.

    His frustration often turned into anger—shouting, refusing to sit still, and even lashing out at his younger brother. They felt helpless until Harsh was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during a visit to Chacha Nehru Hospital.

    The Turning Point: Sarthak’s Early Intervention

    Fortunately, a family friend recommended the Sarthak Early Intervention Center, which provided the therapy and guidance they desperately needed. At Sarthak, the team crafted a personalized therapy plan for Harsh, focusing on occupational and speech therapy.

    With Sarthak’s help and ongoing therapy at home, Harsh’s frustration subsided, and his sensory issues improved. He started to engage with the world, marking a new chapter in his life.

    Gratitude and Hope

    Looking back, Harsh's father wishes he had sought therapy earlier but is filled with gratitude for the progress Sarthak has made possible. “We didn’t know what to do before,†he said, “but Sarthak showed us the way. Now, we have hope for Harsh’s future.â€

    Harsh’s progress highlights the critical importance of early intervention and the unwavering support from both his parents and Sarthak.

    Despite Devansh's immediate birth cry and a seemingly normal start to life, he wasn't developing as expected. When he was four years old, he was diagnosed with a Speech Language Deficit and faced significant developmental challenges.

    Devansh’s parents sought help from a pediatrician, who diagnosed him with a Speech Language Delay and recommended speech therapy. They tried private therapy sessions, hoping to see progress, but to their dismay, Devansh showed little improvement. Each passing day brought more anxiety and uncertainty, as they struggled to find the right support for their son.

    Everything changed when Devansh was connected with Sarthak Early Intervention Center. From the moment he joined, Sarthak’s team took a holistic approach, providing him with Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Special Education services tailored to his unique needs.

    Initially, Devansh struggled with sitting still, maintaining eye contact, and speaking more than a few words. But under Sarthak’s guidance, he began to flourish. In just six months, Devansh made incredible strides—he could identify fruits and animals, follow commands, and even help his mother with household chores. His hyperactivity decreased, his motor skills improved, and he began to write and color with growing confidence.

    Devansh’s parents are overjoyed with the progress their son has made. The child who once couldn’t sit still or speak a word now eagerly participates in activities, speaks more confidently, and continues to develop new skills every day. The relief and happiness they feel is immeasurable, and they are deeply grateful to the Sarthak Early Intervention Team for the incredible transformation in Devansh’s life.

    Today, Devansh’s parents are committed to continuing his therapy at Sarthak, knowing that this is the place where their son’s future is being shaped.

    Ashnoor

    When the kids of her age, started mixing up with others, interacting, participating in various activities, learn new things, Ashnoor was a child completely different from her cousins & friends. She won’t perform her daily routine activities as other kids would do, she didn’t have a social understanding that children develop and sometimes couldn’t remember what just happened a while ago.

    Ashnoor was never interested in things happening around her. Though these things were really distressing for her parents but initially they thought that she was not being taken care of properly and that they just need to give her more attention. Shortly when she turned 5, they realized that things are not that simple. This is a serious call as Ashnoor keeps crying and pushing people away from her. They took her for doctor consultation and found out something that even their worst vision won't see coming.

    Ashnoor was diagnosed with intellectual disability- A condition where children have a difficulty in problem-solving, they can’t think abstractly, have an issue with intellectual abilities like learning disability, and academic issues as they can’t learn like other children of their age. They can also have behavioral issues and feel uncomfortable interacting with people.

    Her parents got her admitted to a special school as taking expensive therapies was not possible. Fortunately, they could find one where at least her studies got a kickstart. However, her behavior was still alarming. Felt like, she was not comfortable in the special school too.

    Ashnoor was 8 years old when a special child parent of her school suggested Sarthak for free-of-cost therapies. They visited our center, where her case history was noted and the therapist suggested special education, and speech & behavioral therapy. Before association with Sarthak, she used to push away people and cry, and would not say more than a word. Gradually, after her behavior therapy, she started paying attention to whatever was being told to her. She learned to sit in a place and be calm for longer periods. The special educator worked on her concept building by teaching big and small, same and different, Alphabet identification and numbers. The speech therapist worked on her word formation, and her initial, medial, and final dental sound /s/.

    Now not only does she understand various abstract concepts such as differentiating feelings, emotions, and focus plus her behavior is also calmer, she greets /namaste/ at Sarthak as well as at home.Her parents feel very happy to find her improving, though a bit late but they realized that therapy could improve her a lot and they also get complete counseling support & guidance from Sarthak EI Centre.

    Harsimran - Intellectual Disability

    When Harsimran was 4-years of age, his father expressed his concern towards his inappropriate behavior and posture to his family. The family agreed on the fact that his hand always bend towards his mouth and always mold to the chest, maybe his backbone muscles are still not so strong which is causing an inappropriate posture in harsimaran’s body.

    The other matter of worry was that he also doesn’t talk or speak like other kids of his age. Earlier, they thought harsimaran is a reserved kid and doesn’t like talking to people.

    Also, his aggressive behavior was taken as a sign of their excessive care & protective nature that spoilt him and he now doesn’t follow any instructions and hits people if they try to speak to him.

    However, this continued and later on when the condition was out of control as harsimaran’s behavior problems were on peak, he started hitting & biting others, drooled a lot, and felt very uncomfortable with even the children of his own age. ... Living in a nuclear family, his parents did not understand the cues initially, and even when they realized that there is an issue, they did not have the appropriate guidance. Eventually, they stopped making him meet new people and spent time with parents mostly, they tried comforting him by various things such as involving him in household tasks and taking him to gurudwaaras.

    Their efforts were in vain, Thus, At the age of 5 year his father took him for medical consultation and a psychologist. What the Psychologist said was something they were wanting to avoid accepting since the beginning that this not just a temporary behavior pattern but their son was diagnosed with Intellectual Disability.

    They had no other option but to accept & move ahead. Parents decided to take Harsimran for suggested therapies from a nearby place but even after a few months they did not find any visible changes in harsimaran’s condition. He was still lost in his own world didn’t want to connect with the people. And also had same rigid behaviour of not doing things, not listening to his parents.

    The therapy was not working for him and his parents were utterly disappointed and stressed. He was in the age to start his education now but his parents were tensed about the behavior and did not want to leave him alone for this long in school.

    One day, Sarthak mobilization team contacted the family, they were called to the nearest center and the therapist took detailed case history after which they suggested speech therapy, Special Education and occupational therapy sessions. Parental counselling was done to make them understand more about the condition. so, they are aware about the suffering Harsimran goes through himself and because parenting is the most important part of any therapy. His parents gradually started to connect with him and now understand what their child needs and how some more attention would make him feel better and not spoilt. It was tough but they have to deal with the child very patiently.

    Before associating with Sarthak, Harsimaran had difficulty in holding things, at his very first visit to Sarthak he cried a lot. “Because of his not want to do anything’ attitude led to difficulty in interaction with the EI team.

    At the center, he cried almost 30 minutes at every visit and started throwing things whatever he got in hand he just threw that very hard on the floor or the wall. On the other hand, he drooled a lot at the duration of 30-minute session he made himself all wet by his drooling.

    Also, whenever therapist tried to connect with harsimran he used to bite them, the condition was very crucial and took a lot of efforts. by each and every therapist. As he denied sitting at a place, Behavior therapies were started before occupational one which would then work on his posture.

    Finally, after months of patience, Now, harsimaran sits at a place and takes interest doing activities with other children. Occupational therapist work on his posture now he does not put his hand in the mouth. After doing Oro facial massage & speech therapy, he has improved a lot.

    The special educator works on his writing skills and the very first stage of writing- he now enjoys

    Gouri - Down Syndrome

    Gouri, now 5 years old, was born with Polyhydromnios (where excessive amniotic fluid is accumulated in the uterus) and Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (where a new-born breathes a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid into the lungs at the time of delivery). Her mother shared that Gouri’s birth cry was delayed by 5 minutes and collectively, all these complications led her to suffer respiratory distress because of which she was kept in the ventilator for 5 days.

    She comes from a lower-middle-class family and her family comprises of 4 members. Her father is employed in a private job, her mother is a housewife and she also has a 3 years old brother.Her parents were unaware of all the issues she might have in future and nor did the doctor inform them. It was only after her development ... milestones delayed and she faced feeding difficulty at the age of 6 months when her parents consulted a Pediatrician. It was that time when Gouri was diagnosed with Down Syndrome.

    Even though Gouri has two close relatives with disabilities, her diagnosis still came as a surprise to her parents because none of their relatives had history of Down Syndrome.

    As she was growing up, her parents also identified how her tongue movement was sluggish, she faced difficulty in chewing and could not adhere to simple commands made by the elders. Out of consciousness, her parents consulted doctors who gave her medications and advised therapeutic management. They started her therapy in private clinics but their lower socio-economic background could not sustain the costs of therapy for long and eventually, her therapy sessions were put on hold.

    6 months ago, while the parents were still struggling with the child; Sarthak’s Early Intervention Team contacted them. Since they stay outside Delhi, they were unable to visit Sarthak’s Early Intervention Center but they were counselled over phone and video calls regarding Down Syndrome and its intervention process. The provision of free-of-cost online therapy sessions and home-based sessions really interested the parents and they enrolled Gouri in it right away.

    Under our Early Intervention Program, she was provided regular occupational therapy, speech therapy and special education services. Her speech therapy was focused on oromotor exercises, vocabulary building and socialization; occupation therapy was focused on hand functioning and motor functioning and special education sessions were focused on scribbling, coloring, alphabet writing. Collectively, all these sessions showed a drastic improvement in her everyday performance.

    Both her parents and Sarthak’s team are relieved and happy to see her improvement. Over time, her mother has also become very participative in therapy techniques at home and continues to support her in improving her learning abilities and academic growth.

    Aarish - Hearing Impairment

    At his very first visit to Sarthak, Aarish cried a lot.He was a very hyperactive child who didn’t want to sit at a place, kept running and jumping here and there. He even started shouting when therapist tried to interact with him.

    Rewind back to 2019, At the age of 3-years, Aarish’s father expressed his concern towards Aarish’s delayed speech. They thought that since some children speak a little late, it is very normal and we should wait. However, when Aarish turned 3, his father observed that Aarish has some hearing issues also. And maybe that is why he is not able to speak. When discussed with the family, it was also noticed that they have observed some behaviour differences in him like he was not maintaining eye contact, not sitting properly at a place and unable to concentrate. He was not able to connect with people. His behavior and developmental milestones were different from other kids of his age. ...

    His lack of social attention turned Aarish’s Father attention towards some issue that needs to be treated and he got really tensed. For a long time, his father was not aware of any of the issues, but once realized, he consulted an ENT specialist. He thought that Aarish had some hearing issues but the reports were normal there was no certain issues reported for his hearing impairment. Later on, by a relative, he was asked to consult child psychologist. He did not believe what turned out to be truth in the diagnosis. It was a term that he never heard of.

    Aarish was diagnosed with - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). His father was not aware about this condition among children and almost panicked as any parent would do.

    Of course, with ASD, Aarish couldn’t learn to speak his first words which was not because of hearing issues as his father thought. In ASD, children have delayed speech issue because their emotional intelligence is affected and also they are socially distracted that’s why they start ignoring the world around them and do not connect to people by speech and don’t create vocabulary in their minds which leads to no speech among the children.

    Also, their major concern is hyperactivity that leads to aggressiveness and restlessness in Aarish’s behavior The psychologist advised his family to get his therapies sessions as therapy is the only way to divert him towards a fruitful outcome. Another concern was that, when other kids of his age started going to their classes and play schools,

    Aarish's family couldn’t get him admitted to school because they thought Aarish won’t be comfortable in the regular mainstream schools. One day, Sarthak mobilization team contacted the family, they were called to the nearest center where the therapist took his detailed case history.

During her first year B.A. Diwali vacation she got fever post which she started feeling weak, was unable to perform even the small tasks at home and had to rest all day. She also felt a strain in eyes while reading or watching television or phone. After consulting ...a family doctor, she was suggested to get her eye-sight checked and wear spectacles accordingly. As she started wearing specs, she faced headache and irritation. As they were not comfortable for her, she discontinued using them. But her vision was still weak than before and she had to do something about it. Her family tried to help her out by taking her to specialists suggested by their knowns.

    Regardless of multiple visits in to hospital for the treatment, her health was going in to critical condition continuously. Eventually, the doctor did her CT scan and then, to their surprise Deepali’s eye-sight issue turned out to be Brain Tuberculomas. Doctor informed the family, that some of her brain nerves were blocked. They immediately started her treatment in Sayadri Hospital at Nashik Maharashtra and somehow, they were successful in saving her life. She came back to home after the required stay at the hospital. Even though slowly her health condition improved overall, Unfortunately her vision was deeply affected by the condition, making her slowly lose her vision of both the eyes.

    The main reason of her blindness was no blood circulation in her optic nerves. Her parents took her to many doctors for her eye treatment. But, there wasn’t any positive result at all. It was really hard to accept that their young daughter who was studying hard has to lead a completely different life now.

    Gradually, Deepali and her family members accepted the condition and started giving her every possible support. Because of her health issues and sudden blindness her life drastically changed. She couldn’t continue her graduation studies and had to take a long gap. One day, her father read an article in Maharashtra times newspaper about career counselling seminar in National Association for the Blind (NAB) Mumbai. Without any delay he took Deepali to NAB centre where she met people who helped her with the options that were not known to her before.

    She did D-ed and learned braille and typing in computer. Soon, she also completed basic computer training from training Institute of India (TTI) Pune became skilled computer user.

    One of the Sarthak alumni and her friend Pallavi from Solapur Maharashtra suggested her about Sarthak 3 months training program which will work on her soft skills as well and will provide good placement opportunity. The idea seemed worth trying as the training would be completed in just 3-months, that too free of cost. She soon registered her name for the Sarthak Job Entrepreneurship training course attended all classes regularly. She enhanced her English Communication and computer skills with the help of the skill development course. Thanks to her confidence & positive attitude, soon after the training she got a BPO processing work from home employment opportunity in Saaradhee. Currently she is continuing the same job and supporting her family as well. She wants to develop her career in the same sector and wants to become successful & independent person in life.

    Jagdish’s Journey: A Tale of Resilience and Achievement

    From a young age, Jagdish’s parents were determined to give him the best possible life. They made the difficult decision to send him to a boarding school, hoping it would provide him with the independence and education he needed. It was here, away from the comfort of home, that Jagdish’s life took a transformative turn. The boarding school environment not only made him self-reliant but also ignited a passion for learning that would shape his future.

    One of his teachers, recognizing Jagdish’s potential, encouraged him to always stay in “learning mode.” This simple yet profound advice became Jagdish’s life mantra. He embraced every opportunity to learn, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

    Despite the physical and financial challenges, Jagdish’s dedication to education never wavered. He enrolled in seven different degree programs alongside his B.Tech degree, each one fueling his passion for knowledge. To support his education, he took on several part-time jobs, demonstrating a level of perseverance and determination that was truly remarkable.

    In 2006, Jagdish began participating in computer programming competitions. His talent and hard work quickly paid off, earning him multiple medals in web designing, computer programming, and data processing at NAAI competitions. With the support of Sarthak Educational Trust and NAAI, he won a bronze medal at the Regional level and a gold medal at the National competition. His achievements didn’t stop there; he had the honor of representing India at the Japan Abilympics.

    Jagdish’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of support. The continuous training and mentorship provided by Sarthak Educational Trust played a crucial role in his success. Most recently, he won a bronze medal in the computer programming category at the Sarthak NAAI Goa 2024 event. This victory is not just a personal achievement but a reflection of the unwavering support and guidance he received.
