“I am Siddhi Wadekar. I had applied for Shama Smart Well Scholarship for 2016-17 for S.Y.B.HSc as I was not able to pay my admission fees. My father was operated for kidney problem and he had to undergo dialysis twice a week and was not able to work for six months. My mother is a housewife.
My younger brother is studying in 9th Std. My father’s medical expense was big drain on family income. At that time I had two options left – either to give up education or to take a job. I am very thankful to Shama Inc. and SPRJK Trust for helping me in my crucial condition. It is just because of your support that I stood first in class with 75% which has helped me to build self-esteem.
Currently I am pursuing T.Y.B.HSc and have paid my admission fees by taking tuition classes in vacations. My father has also started working as a ward boy in hospital.”
