Kavita Bisht's Story

Meet Shiksha Sankalp Scholar Kavita Bisht

When you speak with Kavita Bisht, a Political Science student at Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University, one thing becomes instantly clear: her words carry quiet conviction. Thoughtful, articulate, and deeply sincere, Kavita embodies the spirit of the Shiksha Sankalp Lakshya Scholarship: determination, purpose, and a genuine desire to create meaningful change.

Kavita’s journey began in a modest home where the values of hard work and integrity shaped her outlook on life. Her father, now retired, supports the family through a small pension, while her mother manages the home with quiet resilience. Finances have always been tight, and with college came new challenges, long commutes, rising expenses, and the constant pressure of balancing it all. Yet none of this dimmed Kavita’s spirit; if anything, it strengthened her resolve.

Kavita’s love for Political Science and Psychology runs deep. Inspired by Dr. S. Jaishankar, India’s External Affairs Minister, Kavita dreams of following in his footsteps to become an IFS officer, representing India on the global stage with dignity and intellect.

 

Beyond academics, Kavita finds joy in giving back. As an active member of the National Service Scheme (NSS), the Girl Up Club, and a volunteer at an NGO, she spends her time teaching underprivileged children and raising awareness about gender equality. “I feel content knowing I can contribute to the community around me. It fills me with warmth every time I interact with the young children,” she shares.

Polite, poised, and grounded, Kavita carries a quiet confidence that draws people in. Yet her proudest achievement isn’t an academic milestone; it’s her personal transformation. From a shy, introverted girl to a young woman who speaks her mind with ease and conviction, Kavita has grown into someone who truly believes in her own voice. “I’ve started to love this version of myself,” she says with a smile.

For Kavita, the Shiksha Sankalp Lakshya Scholarship came at a crucial time when balancing academics and financial responsibilities was becoming increasingly difficult. The support has eased her family’s burden and given her the space to focus fully on her studies and her long-term goal of pursuing a master’s in international relations. More than just financial assistance, it stands as a gesture of faith, a reminder that her effort and potential are seen and valued.

The world could use more voices like hers, calm, clear, and full of purpose.
