Paridhi Sethi’s Story

Meet Shiksha Sankalp Scholar Paridhi Sethi

In a modest home in Jaipur, Paridhi Sethi grew up watching her father leave for work at 8 in the morning and return as late as 11 at night. He is the sole earning member of the family, working tirelessly to provide for their needs. Her mother, a homemaker, keeps the household running, quietly managing daily life so that her children can pursue their dreams.

Education has always been at the heart of Paridhi’s family. Her elder brother is currently pursuing MBBS, a path that demands a substantial financial commitment. A large part of the family’s income goes into his education, while the rising cost of daily living adds to the financial strain.

Despite these challenges, Paridhi’s resolve remains unshaken. Her dream is to become a dentist, to bring smiles and relief to those in need. Today, she is pursuing her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) at Mahatma Gandhi Dental College and Hospital in Jaipur, navigating the demands of a rigorous program while balancing her studies with the financial challenges her family faces.

For Paridhi, education is not just a personal goal; it is a responsibility, a chance to honor the hard work of her parents and give back to her community. Receiving the Shiksha Sankalp Lakshya Scholarship has eased the financial burden on her family and allowed her to focus fully on her studies, bringing her one step closer to her dream.

Paridhi is determined to make the most of her education despite the challenges her family faces. She works hard every day, keeping her focus on becoming a dentist and building a future that can make a real difference for herself and her family.
