A Dream Beyond All Odds
In the heart of Bada Bhilwara village, Udaipur, lives a young woman whose determination shines brighter than her struggles. Aruna Kumari Bhagora, a resident of Phalasia Panchayat Samiti, is chasing her dream of becoming a teacher. Her journey is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of education.
From Brick Kilns to Books
Despite hardships, Aruna stayed true to her passion for learning. After passing her 12th class from a government school, she pursued a BSTC course in Sawai Madhopur to become a teacher. Aruna lost her father in 2020, placing the family under severe financial strain. She worked alongside her mother at a brick kiln to support their household. Currently, Aruna lives in a shared room with a monthly rent of Rs 2,000, continuing her education with determination.
A Mother's Courage and a Family's Struggle
Aruna's mother is the pillar of their home. She took a loan of Rs 30,000 from a self-help group to fund Aruna and her brothers' education. Their half a bigha of farmland provides only basic sustenance with wheat and maize. After Aruna's father's passing, her mother fought to protect their land from family disputes, demonstrating immense courage.
A Scholarship and a Shining Future
Aruna's dedication has been recognized with the Sayar Kunwar Lodha Scholarship 2025, awarding her Rs 15,000 to ease her financial burdens and support her dreams.
Inspiring Generations to Come
Aruna's journey is more than her personal victory-it's a beacon of hope for others. She proves that determination and courage can break all barriers.
We at the Sayar Kunwar Lodha Scholarship Award Committee celebrate Aruna's spirit and wish her the best on her path to inspiring future generations.
