Vishakhapatnam, June 28, 2021:
The Second Wave of the
Covid-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on almost everyone. For students
particularly, the lockdown has caused deep distress – the constant worry about
exams being rescheduled, preparing for competitive exams online as well as the
fear of an uncertain future. However, this period of grief and struggle has
also given rise to many stories of courage among the student community that are
a true inspiration for all. Of fighting against a situation and overcoming it
and of finding opportunity in adversity.
One of such story is that of 16-year-old aspiring engineerN Moulya Sree, a student of Aakash
Institute in Dwarka Nagar, Visakhapatnam.
Hailing from Kummapalli Village in Vizianagaram district of
Andhra Pradesh, N Moulya Sree’s father, a farmer, took care of a sharedfarmland
spanning nearly 35 hectares out which only a part of 6 hectares was owned by them.
With low surplus and failing to sustain the family of 5 including 2 children,
her father stopped working at the farm and began working on contractual basis
as a laborer. The family struggled to make ends meet yet helped Moulya Sree towards
achieving her dream of becoming an engineer by enrolling her at Aakash
Institute in Visakhapatnam to prepare for JEE.
Always being dedicated to studies, N Moulya Sree has keen
interest in Physics and Machinery. She particularly researched through equipment
and machines required in agribusiness to help her father with his job at the
farm. Unfortunately, the family could afford nothing more than basic equipment
leading to her aspiration of making machines by herself so she could help her
father.
Living in a remote area, she struggled with attending classes
from her phone due to network issues. Stating her struggles, N Moulya Sree
said, “I used to have hard time
connecting to my classes as we live in a remote area and there are often issues
with the network. Studying from phone itself was a task as it doesn’t provide
you flexibility and comfort as that of a laptop.”
She further added, “My
family has struggled a lot financially, I have seen my father work at the farm
day and night, yet we were strained to meet even basic needs. He loved working
at his piece of land. However, raising two children is difficult with such
earnings, so he gave up farming. He started working on contractual basis as a
labor which helped in making the situation a little better. Lack of proper
machinery and equipment has been one of the reasons why we struggled with
adequate surplus, which is why I decided to pursue engineering so I can make
machinery by myself with a bare minimum cost of parts. My goal is to crack JEE,
pursue my engineering from IIT and then move to the USA for MSc.My only dream
is to see my parents happy, living without thinking of money as a constraint.”
Aakash
Institute has made special efforts to ensure that students from Tier 2 cities
and rural areas who were badly hit when the lockdown struck, are able to continue
their studies and are not left behind. Teachers across all branches in India
are making constant efforts to mentor the student, solve their doubts and help
them so as to overcome their infrastructure needs and any problems thereof.
Mr. Aakash Chaudhry,
Managing Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited said, “While people focus on earning more and more money to buy what they
need, N Moulya Sree is focused on designing and assembling the equipment
required for her father’s farming by her own. Such students are rare. We at
Aakash, are committed to provide best learning culture to help such students
achieve their higher goals even while struggling through difficult
circumstances. We ensure that no geographical boundaries or financial
statements should be the reason why a child is unable to follow his or her
dreams. We put in efforts to reach out to such exceptional students living in
remote areas while providing as much support as possible. I am glad, Ms Sree
has such aspirations. I wish her all the best for her JEE exam hoping she
fulfils all her dreams.”
