In the bustling city of Pune, Maharashtra, Amruta Samarth, a bright and determined student, is weaving her dreams with the help of Amitabh Shah founded NGO Yuva Unstoppable’s Scholarship Programme. Despite the challenges life has thrown her way, Amruta has set her sights on a future in engineering, driven by her passion for technology and innovation.
Raised by her father, after the untimely loss of her mother, Amruta’s journey to pursue higher education has been met with financial hurdles. With a family income of approximately INR 90,000, the burden of academic expenses seemed daunting. However, Amruta’s indomitable spirit and dedication to her studies propelled her forward. ‘Support from Yuva Unstoppable has come in at a timely juncture, it has allowed me to pay my academic fees and not burden my family with these daunting amounts’, says Amruta.
Scoring an impressive 91% in Std X, Amruta’s academic prowess caught the attention of her school teachers, who guided her to apply for the Yuva Unstoppable scholarship. With the financial assistance provided by the scholarship, she has been able to pay her school fees and access additional resources to support her education. ‘We have been providing scholarship assistance to students and today school authorities are aware of this support and guide students to apply and pursue their academic dreams. We are partners in this journey with them’, says Amitabh Shah – Founder Yuva Unstoppable.
Driven by a desire to follow in the footsteps of her family members who are engineers, Amruta aspires to pursue a career in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). She recognizes the relevance of AI in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape and is determined to make her mark in this field.
In her pursuit of excellence, Amruta has not only focused on her academic studies but has also actively participated in various events and mentorship programs organized by Yuva Unstoppable. These initiatives have provided her with a platform to enhance her skills, build confidence, and connect with like-minded individuals who share her aspirations.
