Coming from the rural village of Odisha were having a Government job is treated with the utmost respect (It does not matter whether even if you are in clerk position), I am proud of myself to study in such an eminent Institute. It is not that in childhood I knew I would be studying in an IIM but I was thriving for knowledge and Education.
The Biggest set back for me was the death of my parents when I was 10 years old. I had no idea then what should be my next step, but I cleared the NVS entrance exam and I Was among the lucky 80 to get a seat in Navodaya. My life turned down to hell for 2 years searching for my father to guide me, but I never gave up and I kept fighting with my emotion at the age of 10 also and I became more matured day by day. The values and discipline that I have right now are what I imbibed from my parents 10 years back. I focus on my career step by step and planned accordingly knowing that eduction is the best possible way for me to build myself in society. From there on I kept going and going.
It's not that life was too harsh on me then but it was never easy also and that's why I want to help students or children in the near future who are ready to sacrifice everything for education. At least no one can take away my knowledge and the experience I have and no one can buy it with money.
