"I come from a community where girls get married in their teenage. Eklavya not only guided me but gave me confidence to study in prestigious institution like Fergusson College in Pune. I am the first woman in my village to travel to cities like Pune for education. With the continuous mentoring from Eklavya, I have recently achieved the spot at the Young India Fellowship at Ashoka University with a scholarship of 10 lakh rupees which is 10 times my family income. I am mentoring my younger sibling and other girls in the community to get higher education and gain meaningful jobs so that they won't get married early.”

"4 Years ago, one of my village friends suggested me to attend Eklavya’s workshop. At that time, I was engaged in wage work to support my family's livelihood. As a Dalit child, pursuing further education was discouraged. However, Eklavya's workshop became a turning point, igniting my confidence. With Eklavya's mentoring support, I gained admission to the esteemed TISS for a master's degree. I am proud to be the first Dalit student from our village to attend such a prestigious university. Today, I'm enjoying a stable income and am able to support my family and younger siblings in their career pursuits."

"I belong to a nomadic tribe community in Yavatmal. I learned about Eklavya’s foreign education program through social media. One of my close friends suggested to attend it, because I aspired for foreign education. At the boot camp, I met a bunch of mentors studying in premier universities abroad who inspired me and boosted my confidence to pursue studies in global universities. A year-long mentoring and coaching helped me in applying for the right course, university, scholarship applications, IELTS preparation, and immigration procedures. Today, I am the first student in my village to travel overseas."
