Thirteen years old Sritama* aspires to be a Nurse in future. Her father works as a small artisan of wooden furniture and mother a daily wage labourer. Together Sritama*’s parents earns around INR 4000 per month which makes them financially vulnerable. Sritama* lives with her parents in a hut with mud wall and earthen tiled roof.
At present Sritama* is in 9th standard at the local higher secondary school - ‘Nandakumarpur High School (Higher Secondary)’. Earlier as there was none at home to help her in studies she was not that good. Poverty has always been a major issue for Sritama*’s family. Her parents couldn’t afford tuition fees and study materials for her. So, Sritama* tried her best to carry on studies without any extra tuition other than the school she studies. But as time passes it became difficult for her. After knowing about Nayantara programme and the support rendered through education coaching she communicated immediately with the coordinator and expressed her wishes to join.
Thus Sritama* got associated with the Nayantara programme since 2020. After joining the programme Sritama* has shown improvements gradually. Her favourite subject is Biological Science. In leisure she loves Dancing.
Sritama*’s parents wants to extend their support as much possible to see the coming days brighter and their daughter successful.
