“The experience at FTC was very good. The help and guidance that I received at that stage of my life has helped me reach where I am today. Back then I didn’t have money, with the support from my family & Shiksha Prayas, today I'm earning very well. I never thought that I could achieve something like this.”
“Shiksha Prayas, I would say, is a whole different world. They provide good exposure to all students belonging to rural areas. From Shiksha Prayas we get not just financial help but emotional support too. At Shiksha Prayas, overall development of a student is focused upon. All mentors at Shiksha Prayas are so good, they give good and timely guidance to all of us.”

In 2009 Mohd. Aazam enrolled himself in the B.Sc. Nursing course at Lingayas University, Faridabad.

“The help extended by Shiksha Prayas helped me sail through the financial crisis of 1 to 1.5 years. My family considers Pawan Kamra Ji a farishta. Back then, had he not helped me I wouldn’t have been able to complete my studies.
The selfless help that Shiksha Prayas extends is what inspires me to help others. I believe if someone helps us unknowingly, we should always remember that instance and help others too.”

Inspired to Help
A young girl from the city of Alwar who achieved success through sheer determination and grit, Ritika is one of the brightest students Free Tuition Centre (FTC) in Kanhai has ever had. Since the past 15 years Ritika lives in Kanhai with her parents and her three siblings whom she loves dearly. This is her story!
The eldest daughter of Kailash and Laxmi, Ritika was suggested by one of the teachers at FTC to join the Free Tuition Centre. Back then in 2007, her parents were not much financially stable. Upon learning about Shiksha Prayas’ Free tuition Centre initiative her parents were delighted to have found an opportunity to help their bright daughter complete her education. Looking at Ritika’s enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge, her teachers focused more on her. Till class 8th she took tuitions at FTC Kanhai. Thereafter, under the Student Sponsorship initiative Ritika received sponsorship twice. She scored well in her class 12th board exams in the science stream and completed her education from the Government Senior Secondary School, Kanhai. Since then she has been teaching mathematics to the students of classes 6 to 8 at FTC Kanhai. Ritika recently completed her B.Sc. Zoology Honours degree from Delhi University. Currently she is pursuing B.Ed. and is also working as a science teacher with an NGO. She is also an expert in dance. In future, Ritika wants to become a professor.
Ritika has shown that sometimes all you need is that little support, guidance and opportunity.
She says, “Whatever I’m today is because of my parents’ support and Shiksha Prayas. The guidance and motivation that I got from Pawan Sir is what has helped me reach where I’m today, I’m grateful to him. Now I want to contribute my bit to the society, lend a helping hand to others and be a part of their success story.”
