New Delhi (India), April 28: Jintal Shiroya is an example of a student that gained the confidence to pursue her dream of becoming a Chartered Accountant through the Yuva Unstoppable scholarship scheme. Hailing from a family whose average annual income is less than INR 1.50 lac, the pressure and struggle to start adding to the family income was there from the beginning. But, despite difficult circumstances, Jintal is today a certified Chartered Accountant on the brink of starting her working career thanks to the timely support she received from Yuva Unstoppable.
“Not many students are aware that there are several scholarship schemes available through NGOs, trusts and foundations in India. The pressure to join the workforce as soon as possible, sometimes with the experience of crushing your goals, is a challenge several students go through. Our commitment at Yuva Unstoppable is to ensure we reach the maximum number of deserving and needy students” – Amitabh Shah, Founder – Yuva Unstoppable
After securing a 93% in Std, XII, like several students, had the pressure to change the course of her aspirations due to a lack of economic security and stability. She says the timely assistance from Yuva Unstoppable ensured that she could concentrate completely on her studies. She has managed to clear her CA exams on the first attempt and is now confident of securing a well-positioned job that will allow her to contribute to her family's income at the earliest.
Amitabh Shah’s view is that such timely support to needy and deserving students helps not only build the education platform for India but has also resulted in more students being supported. “Our Yuva Unstoppable existing scholars are also aware and sensitive young individuals; not only do they want to become mentors and advise more like them, but they also want to start earning and give a piece back to others. This ripple effect will have long-lasting consequences” – Amitabh Shah, Founder – of Yuva Unstoppable.
After going through a rigorous selection process which included a personal interview and a home visit, Jintal secured a scholarship from Yuva Unstoppable and embarked upon this journey that the program envisions for its students. The scheme not only provides financial support but also concentrates on their overall development by facilitating mentorship sessions, counselling sessions, peer networking engagement opportunities and expert leadership lectures. Jintal got the exposure to mentoring sessions with experts from Goldman Sachs, Deloitte etc., which has helped tremendously in confidence and overall personality development building. She was also a recipient of Yuva Unstoppable’s ‘Tablet Campaign’ wherein needy and deserving students were provided with tablets during the pandemic lockdown to ensure that there was no break in education.
“We at Yuva Unstoppable want to send a message out to all the young girls who aspire to achieve the success that self-belief and a little guidance and support from institutions such as Yuva Unstoppable will make them indeed UNSTOPABBLE!” – Amitabh Shah, Founder – Yuva Unstoppable.
