Stories From Aaghaz
Meet some of the students we have supported and read about the people and work behind Aaghaz.
There was a time when completing my law degree seemed very difficult because I simply did not have the financial means. I received support throughout my five-year course, including a monthly stipend, and even help with medical treatment when I fell ill. I was able to finish my studies and become an advocate. It was a dream I had worked towards for years, and today I am living it.
Becoming a doctor was my dream, but getting through medical college required far more than ambition. I received support throughout my MBBS for college and hostel fees, books and even my monthly expenses. That meant I could concentrate on my studies instead of constantly worrying about how the next fee would be paid. Today, I am a doctor working in paediatric surgery at Medical College Kolkata.
I received the Coding Ninjas course through Aaghaz at a stage when I wanted to improve my coding but did not have access to the kind of training I needed. The course helped me build both my skills and confidence. I recently received a Software Engineer offer of around ₹23 LPA. For me, that offer is much more than a salary package. It shows how far I have been able to come.
