My name is Darshad and I am from Siolim. My father died when I was studying in the VIth class. My mother is a housewife and she gets a small amount from my father’s firm as pension. Fortunately, I was selected for a scholarship from the Indian Students Educational Aid Foundation. It was a big relief for me. This was in the year 2011 and from then till I completed my education I was helped financially. My sponsor was Mrs. Grit Steinweller.
I completed my engineering course in Mechanical Engineering and presently I am working as a “Apprentice Engineer” in Centaur Pharmaceutical Pvt. Ltd., Karaswada, Mapusa, Goa for last 9 months.
I am grateful to the Indian Students Educational Aid Foundation and my sponsor for helping me to build my future.
