MBBS - II year

I am from Manipur and I completed my class 12 from a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. 

My parents are farmers and growing up in a region with limited educational resources, pursuing a career in medicine seemed like an unattainable dream. However, thanks to the TATA AIG-Avanti Fellows Scholarship program, I have been able to overcome financial barriers and take significant strides towards achieving my goals. I am very much grateful that through this scholarship, my passion to serve people will become a reality. This scholarship has not only changed my life but has also empowered me to be a catalyst for change in my community.

Born and brought up in Sikkim, getting selected for the TATA AIG-Avanti Fellows Scholarship has become the life-changing moment for me. This scholarship program has significantly alleviated the financial burden and stress associated with expenses. It has allowed us to purchase books and essential instruments without any hesitation, providing immense assistance. The program has ignited a sense of enthusiasm and motivation within us, generating a positive mindset even during challenging times. With the reassuring knowledge that there is constant support available, I find myself halfway towards fulfilling my dream of becoming a gynecologist.

The TATA AIG-Avanti Fellows Scholarship is the only means for a girl like me to achieve her dream of pursuing a career in Medicine. I consider myself immensely fortunate to be a recipient of this scholarship as it has not only relieved the financial burden but has also allowed me to focus on my studies wholeheartedly.

My ambition is to become the best physician and to serve the people of Assam, my home state, as there are limited medical facilities.
