MY STORY

I belongs to a farmer’s family.While I was in school ,I always helped my father in farming whenever I had time ,as I was good at academics my father taught me to dream big and do something different.After my graduation as soon as I passed out, my father went sick and after 2 months he passed away,it was very hard to my family and for me. Now, i have the responsibility to work and take care of my family. At that point of time I was preparing for MBA entrances,so after this incident I worked as a farmer,harvested the ready crops and planted new ones.At the same time I was preparing for b-school entrances,at first attempt I could not make it to a premier institute,but I always wanted to study in one of best institute of our country.So,I decided to give another attempt and decided to do farming simultaneously as it was our prime source of income.I innovated in farming,used different plantation method,increased our production,searched new avenues to sell our produce to get more benefits,did collective farming to achieve a production target.Talking about my other goal of premier institute.I was able to manage my work,family and studies and started my MBA journey at “INDIAN INSTITUTE OF FOREIGN TRADE” in 2019.It was a difficult but enriching journey, I learnt new skills explored myself and finally it was the motive and persistence that kept me going and having what I always wanted.
