“From my childhood, I faced numerous challenges as a girl from a village hailing from a middle-class, conservative family. My family's conservatism posed significant obstacles, restricting girls from pursuing education. Consequently, my journey to acquire an education was fraught with struggle, worsen by the lack of quality education and limited resources in the local school I attended. l also do lots of domestic chores and somehow manage time with so much difficulty for studying. Managing these dual roles has proven to be a formidable challenge, requiring time management and unwavering dedication. In the absence of support from most family members, my mother emerged as my sole pillar of encouragement and inspiration. Their lack of support and discouraging words became significant hurdles in my journey. Undeterred, I dedicated myself to diligent study, ultimately achieving success in the JEE Advanced exam, renowned as the second toughest exam in the world. This accomplishment secured my admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (IIT Mandi). Even after securing admission to IIT, I faced demotivation because of disparities with more affluent peers, I didn't let adversity hinder my progress. Instead, I emerged as a stronger version of myself.”
