Arpan Das
My Journey of Perseverance, Support, and Aspiration My name is Arpan Das, and I come from Uttar Chandanpiri, Namkhana, West Bengal. Currently, I am residing in Kolkata and have successfully completed my B.Tech from Rajabazar Science College. I belong to a small family consisting of three members—my mother, my younger sister, and me. My mother is a homemaker. Since my childhood, my parents have worked tirelessly and made countless sacrifices to ensure that I could continue my education and pursue my dreams. Their dedication and unconditional support have been the foundation of my journey. In December 2024, I became a beneficiary of the Mukti Scholarship Program, which proved to be a turning point in my academic life. The financial assistance provided through this scholarship has significantly reduced my educational burden and helped me continue my studies without interruption. I am deeply grateful to my sponsor, Mrs. Shukla Basak, for her generous support, encouragement, and belief in my potential. I offer my sincere respect and heartfelt gratitude to her. I first learned about this scholarship from my friend Pabitra Kumar, and I am sincerely thankful to him for guiding me toward this valuable opportunity. My future goal is to pursue an M.Tech degree and build a successful career through higher education. The support I have received from Mukti and Mrs. Shukla Basak has played an indispensable role in keeping my academic aspirations alive and helping me move closer to achieving my dreams. One of the most inspiring aspects of Mukti is its strong emphasis on social responsibility and community service. This philosophy has motivated me to become more conscious of my responsibilities toward society and encouraged me to contribute in whatever way I can. Inspired by these values, I have actively participated in several social service activities during my free time, including blood donation at Tata Cancer Hospital, providing tuition to students, tree plantation drives, and extending help and support to people in need whenever possible. These experiences have strengthened my belief that education and social responsibility should go hand in hand. In the future, I aspire not only to achieve my personal and professional goals but also to continue serving society with greater dedication and enthusiasm. I sincerely thank Mukti and Mrs. Shukla Basak for their invaluable support, which has empowered me to pursue my dreams and inspired me to become a responsible and compassionate member of society. "Every opportunity creates a responsibility. The support I received from Mukti has not only helped me continue my education but has also inspired me to give back to society and help others build a brighter future."
