Priyanka

Priyanka has always been a hardworking and intelligent student starting from her school. She is visually impaired by birth but her determination was stronger than her disability. Hailing from an agricultural family with two siblings and low economic background, Priyanka’s father did not have the financialsecurity to provide education to his daughter beyond high school. Being an enthusiastic learner Priyanka was positive that she would be able to find a way out.

Priyanka’s family came to know about Samarthanam and agreed to move to Bengaluru. She came to Samarthanam seeking financial help for her higher studies and looking at her eagerness to pursue education, Samarthanam readily enrolled Priyanka into Bachelor of Arts course at Surana College in Bengaluru. Throughout her academic career, she consistently secured distinction and consequently Bangalore University offered her a chance to pursue her Masters in Political Science.

Priyanka is looking forward to working as an Assistant Professor in Karnataka but her aim is to clear the Civil Services exam and be an Officer to lead the society.

Priyanka and her family are grateful to Samarthanam for providing support and encouraging a potential student in accomplishing her study dreams. The Higher Education support Programme at Samarthanam offers services like monetary aid, residential facility, audio books, assistive aids and so on for students who wish to complete higher education and live independently.
