"When I received my Matric results last year, I felt proud of what I had achieved but worried about what would come next. My family has always supported me, but money was always tight. The Narendra Prasad Das Memorial Trust stepped in when we needed it most, and that made all the difference.

This scholarship was not just financial help — it was proof that my hard work and my dreams mattered to someone beyond my family. The Trust’s support took away a huge burden from my parents and gave me the chance to focus on my studies without worrying about how we would manage.

What means the most to me is that the Trust treated me with dignity. They did not just see my marks; they saw my potential and my struggles. Through this award, I felt connected to the values of Shri Narendra Prasad Das — honesty, kindness, and standing by those who need it most.

I am truly grateful to the Narendra Prasad Das Memorial Trust for making me feel seen, supported, and hopeful for my future. I will always remember how they stood beside me when it mattered most. It gave me the strong first step I needed to begin my journey toward becoming an IAS Officer and serving my community with pride."
