Impact Stories
Thank you so much. We are feeling fortunate that we are the part of one of the most supportive platforms, the Nanubhai organization. I feel grateful for the support and appreciation, not only me, we all are thankful. And we immensively believe that through the support and blessings, we all will do great in our future and try to shine like a sun who doesn’t know how to set.
Now I am studying in the University of Allahabad and pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in political science and anthropology. Specifically, my aim is to become a civil servant andwork for society. Also I want to become a good artist who has the capabilities to connect with the readers and their audience.
I am very passionate about debating and orating. I won state and national youth championships. Now I am focusing on Youth Parliament this year so that I can improve my orating skills and get a chance to raise and talk about some issues and changes.
I feel very proud that I have parents who support me, even if we do not have too much, but they support me to do my best. I completed my whole school education through my scholarship and now also with the help of Nanubhai organization I am completing my Bachelor’s.
I am Dr. Ayushi (PT) from Bardoli, Gujarat.I completed my BPT course from The Maharaja Sayajirao University Of Baroda.
When I first stepped into the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program, I had a dream — a dream to help people move, heal, and live better, a dream to become a doctor. But like most dreams, the path wasn’t always easy.
Physiotherapy is one of the fastest-growing healthcare professions in the world. It is a field that bridges science and compassion, where we use our understanding of human anatomy and movement to restore lives, rehabilitate injuries, and promote wellness.
It is a four and a half year program: four years for academic studies and then a six month internship. In the beginning, everything felt overwhelming. Medical terms sounded like another language, and anatomy classes felt like endless hours of memorizing bones, muscles, and nerves. But slowly, things started to make sense. I began to understand not just the theory, but the deeper purpose behind what we were learning: the ability to help someone stand, walk, move, and live without pain.
The smile on a patient’s face after weeks of therapy, or a simple “thank you” from someone who had been in pain, it wasn’t always easy, but those were the moments that kept me going.
There were sleepless nights before exams, the stress of practicals, and moments when I truly felt like giving up, but I didn’t. .Looking back, this journey has been more than just academic…It has shaped my identity, taught me responsibility, and showed me the value of hard work & compassion.
First, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my family. They are my strongest support system, my mom and pappa: everything I am achieving today is because of their constant presence behind me.
And I am deeply grateful to Nanubhai, whose financial support came as a lifeline during one of the most critical periods of my academic journey. This scholarship was not just funding, it was hope. It gave me the freedom to pursue my studies without the fear of financial burden. It allowed me to stay committed to my goals and become the physiotherapist I always dreamed of being.
Thank you so much.
Donate
Nanubhai Scholars are young women who are on a mission to uplift themselves, their families, and their communities. When you sponsor a scholarship (in part or all), your donation creates the biggest change in the most efficient way. These clever, motivated young women have bright futures ahead of them. Futures where, with your support, graduates become independent, self-sufficient women who know their own self-worth.
What is a Good Start Grant?
College enrollment costs are still a hurdle for many families: even ₹10,000 (~$110 USD) can derail a daughter’s college dreams. To help as many young women start college as possible, Nanubhai has developed the Good Start Grant program. This is a one-time payment presented via cheque when the grant agreement is signed. Grants have no interest or repayment requirements, just a promise made by the Scholar: when she is able, she will help another student make their own good start.
Why is it a one-time grant?
Students who are eligible for Good Start Grants are also eligible for financial support from the Central Government of India, which uses a reimbursement model. The Central Government has made great strides in reducing the waiting time from a year or more (2014) to 3-6 months (today), which allows families to use last semester’s reimbursement to cover the next semester’s fees. Grants remove the barrier to entry and support students until the government funding is received.
