On April 7, 2024, Mukti facilitated a virtual meeting via an online platform, uniting sponsor Mr. Azad Rahaman with the student, Poulomi Vidyanta, for the very first time. This meeting marked the commencement of an inspiring relationship between the two.
Poulomi Vidyanta, a bright student pursuing B.Sc Mathematics Hons in the 4th semester at Hoogly Mohsin College, hails from a humble background. Her father’s occupation as a day laborer and her mother’s role as a health worker underscore the financial challenges her family faces. Despite her exceptional academic prowess, her aspirations for higher education were stifled by economic constraints. However, her resilience and determination led her to seek solutions.
In 2021, Poulomi’s life took a transformative turn when she was chosen by Mr. Azad Rahaman as a beneficiary of support through Mukti. Residing in Zurich, Switzerland, Mr. Rahaman is a compassionate individual working in the IT sector, with a longstanding association with Mukti dating back to 2013-14. His commitment to Poulomi’s education has provided her with the financial means to pursue her dreams.
Mukti extends heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Azad Rahaman for his generous sponsorship of Poulomi, enabling her to pursue her educational aspirations despite financial challenges.
During their initial meeting, Mr. Rahaman eagerly inquired about Poulomi’s academic progress and her family’s circumstances. Poulomi candidly shared her current academic pursuits and the ongoing financial struggles her family faces. Grateful for Mr. Rahaman’s support, she expressed her ambition to complete her Ph.D. and secure a promising future.
Moved by Poulomi’s determination and aspirations, Mr. Rahaman reassured her of his continued support. He pledged to stand by her side, offering financial assistance whenever needed, and encouraged her to reach out in times of adversity.
This heartening exchange exemplifies the transformative impact of philanthropy and mentorship, underscoring the power of compassion and support in nurturing talent and empowering dreams. As Poulomi continues her academic journey, she does so with newfound hope and determination, fueled by the support of her benefactor, Mr. Azad Rahaman.
She thanked Mr. Rahaman and said that his insights and wisdom during their virtual meeting have provided invaluable guidance and encouragement, motivating her to strive for excellence.
