Equipped With Skills, Enabled By Opportunity

I come from the remote village of Nalapareddypalli in Bagepalli Taluk, where life presented significant hardships early on. I lost my mother while I was in grade 1 and my father in grade 6.

Despite all the support of my teachers and friends and my best efforts, I realised that traditional academics were not my strength. This caused me tremendous distress.

I joined Sri Sathya Sai Sharadaniketanam, Mandya campus, in grade 7, which became a turning point in my life, providing me with the care and support I needed during my formative years.

Recognising my inclinations, the institution chose to admit me to the Certificate Course in Electrical Technologies & Plumbing at the Skill Development Centre after my 1st year PUC.

The hands-on training, industry-aligned curriculum, and mentorship by the trainers allowed me to explore practical skills that matched my interests and potential.

The skilling programme has helped me develop self-confidence, a sense of independence, and a new belief in my own abilities.

I now look forward to contributing meaningfully to society, demonstrating that perseverance and the right opportunities can transform lives.

I am deeply grateful to the institution for recognising my unique potential and providing me with a platform to grow beyond conventional education.
