Sonia Mancheela’s story is one which many students looking to aspire for a brighter future can relate to. Financial help from Fair & Lovely Foundation Scholarship propelled her aspiration of acquiring a government job. Coming from a financially constrained family, she has pulled off a great struggle to be able to see here dreams come true.

Buddy4study: Give us a brief background about your academic and professional journey until now.

Sonia: I graduated in Engineering from Kakatiya University, Kurnool, in the year 2017. I have always been a meritorious student in school and college. But I never got the opportunity to scale my dreams due to financial constraints. Finally, I was able to get monetary support to take coaching classes so that I could crack Public Service examinations. Currently, I am working as a Software Engineer in a start-up company in Hyderabad and simultaneously preparing for the competitive exams.

Buddy4Study: What were the key challenges that you faced during the course of your journey to reach here?

Sonia: Belonging to a family with an agricultural background, I struggled to pay my college fees and other expenses. Poverty and loss of parents doubled the problems in my life. I and my sister were taken care of and supported by our guardian who is an agricultural farmer.
