“I scored 94.05% in my second year of engineering (Computer Sc) and yet I was contemplating dropping out of college due to my family’s financial challenges. My mother is a housewife, and my father has a contractual job, so his earnings are not stable. I received Ekam’s scholarship just in time, and it saved me in more than one way! After I graduate, I want to work in the corporate sector for a few years and then become an entrepreneur!”
