“Two years ago, I was confused about what life had in store for me. I had just passed out of high school by then. I come from a traditional family and even they expected me to pursue Intermediate, and but I wanted something more for myself – I saw my family struggle to make the ends meet so I want to master a technical course and join the work as soon as possible. So I chose to pursue Diploma in Engineering after class 10 and simultaneously help my mother in handling this soda business during the free time.

My father is an auto driver and as of now, he’s on-duty. My parents don’t want me to work at this age but I strongly believe it’s everyone’s responsibility in a family to contribute so I am studying and working during my free time.

Now that my mother and father earn, we can make our ends, and once we recover from pandemic impact, we will be able to be in a better position financially.

My long-term goal is to start a small-scale business in engineering works where I could employ more people who are in need and I am already saving up for it.”
