Why This Matters

Children from marginalized communities often face immense challenges in their education, particularly in their final year of school. Financial constraints, lack of access to resources, and limited support systems can create significant barriers to learning. As they approach the 10th Std, the pressure to perform academically intensifies, yet many are forced to juggle multiple responsibilities, such as working to support their families or dealing with unstable home environments. Despite their determination, these obstacles can hinder their ability to focus on studies and reach their full potential
Each year, the Rajni Patel Scholarship honors two city toppers with a modest award recognizing their hard work and perseverance. This initiative supports their continued education and celebrates their commitment to excellence. It particularly uplifts young achievers from underprivileged backgrounds, offering more than just financial aid. The scholarship serves as a powerful affirmation of their efforts, boosting their self-belief and inspiring them to reach greater heights.

Our Intervention

The Difference We’ve Made

As an FYJC Science student, I aim to become an engineer, clear UPSC, and join the IAS to create meaningful change. I plan to study at IIT, research AI, address real-world challenges like climate change, support education for the underprivileged, and become a thought leader inspiring other through knowledge-sharing.
Varun Chaurasia – Recipient of the scholarship in 2024
As a BMC topper, receiving the scholarship filled me with immense gratitude. I aspire to become a successful engineer, creating solutions that benefit society. Two memories define me: my only childhood birthday, made possible by my mother’s sacrifice, and this scholarship both powerful reminders of love, perseverance, and hard work.
