Niyati is a bright young girl from a low socio-economic background,
living with
her family of six in a challenging environment. With her father unable to work
due to health
issu e s and her mother earning as a laborer, financial struggles are a daily
reality. Despite these hardships, Niyati has excelled with the support of the
PASS Class program. Over the past four years, she achieved an impressive 82.27%
in her 5th standard exams and aspires to become a neurosurgeon. In addition to
her academic pursuits, Niyati enjoys cooking and dancing, having won first prize
in a school dance competition.
In July 2024, Niyati excelled in a competitive examination, securing the highest
rank and gaining admission to the Government GYAN SETU Scheme, which will cover
all her educational expenses up to the 12th standard. Initially, her parents
were hesitant about her moving to the hostel in Savali Town, but after
discussions with BCC coordinators, they recognized the importance of this
opportunity. In August 2024, Niyati happily enrolled in the government hostel,
marking the beginning of her educational journey. Her parents are immensely
grateful to the Baroda Citizens Council for their support in helping Niyati
pursue her dreams.
