I did not understand everything, but my curiosity peaked.” That spark took Swetha from her village in Rajasthan to Miranda House in Delhi to pursue a B.Sc. in Physics. The transition was difficult. New city, new environment, and her father’s farming income stretched thin. More than once, she wondered if she should stop studying to ease the financial pressure at home. But our Sashakt Scholarship gave her the freedom and peace of mind to learn without fear. Today, Swetha is in her final year of B.Sc. (Physics) and is preparing to pursue a Ph.D. and become a professor. In her words, “Not just to teach formulas, but to notice students who doubt themselves and push them to realise what they are capable of.” Swetha’s story reflects the purpose of the Sashakt Scholarship program. It supports young women with strong talent in science, builds pathways for higher education, and opens doors to careers in STEM. Our scholars have gone on to pursue masters at IIT, IISc, and Oxford, and others like Swetha are ready to enter research and academia to strengthen science education for the next generation. This is what happens when potential meets opportunity. #29YearsOfImpact #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #education #girls #inclusion #sustainability #SDGs
