Meet Shiksha Sankalp Scholar Adnan Ansari

By the time most students finish their own homework, Mohd Adnan Ansari would often begin someone else’s.

While many teenagers experienced the uncertainty of the Covid years from inside their homes, Adnan found responsibility arriving early. As a student of Dr BR Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence Kalyanpuri, he began teaching younger students during Class 10. What started as a practical way to help others soon became a necessity. The income supported his own day to day expenses and eased some pressure at home. It also revealed something important about him: he was someone who could carry duty without complaint.

Adnan comes from a family where stability has never been guaranteed. His father has been the primary earning member, but work has not always been consistent. With a younger sister still in school and household finances often stretched, every decision has needed careful thought. For Adnan, education was never separate from these realities. It had to exist alongside them.

Balancing tuition work with his own studies came at a cost. Long hours spent teaching others meant less time for his own preparation. When he first attempted NEET, he did not clear it. For many students, that might have become the end of the road. For Adnan, it became a turning point.

He earned admission to the Dakshana Foundation’s Pune campus, where he received free coaching for the NEET exam . It was an opportunity built on merit, discipline, and the refusal to let one setback define him. He used that year well and moved closer to the goal he had continued to protect through difficult circumstances.

Today, Adnan is pursuing MBBS at the Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College in Delhi and is on course to become the first doctor in his entire family. That milestone carries meaning beyond a degree. It represents a shift in what future generations in his family may believe is possible.

Even now, he continues to teach students whenever he can. He strongly believes that limited time can make a person more focused, and his own academic record reflects that mindset. In his first year MBBS examinations, he secured distinction in two subjects, proving that quality of study matters more than the number of hours spent at a desk.
