Introduction: Education is the key to success. For Vikram, it was more than that—it was the path to transforming his destiny and inspiring others to do the same. Today, he dedicates himself to serving society by shaping the future of a small group of underprivileged children in his hometown.
Overcoming Challenges
Vikram is from Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh and has an 80% disability in one leg and uses a stick to walk. During his childhood, he could walk without support, but as he grew older and his body weight increased, walking without assistance became difficult. Walking 5-6 km to school daily with his disability was extremely tough. However, he never gave up and always kept himself motivated, turning every challenge into an opportunity to grow stronger. The struggles Vikram faced during his childhood due to his disability and accessibility issues were taken positively by him, igniting a passion and determination to achieve something great in life.
The Sarthak Impact
As time passed, Vikram completed his MA and secured a teaching job in his hometown. Along with teaching, he started helping many children from orphanages or those who were financially struggling to pay school fees or buy books. Despite his limited earnings, Vikram supported underprivileged children in education, whether by providing second-hand books or raising funds to cover school fees. In 2023, Vikram discovered Sarthak Educational Trust’s Varanasi center and enrolled in their online training program. He saw it as a chance to refine his communication and public interaction skills and aimed to secure a higher salary to support more underprivileged children with education.
Turning Point
With Sarthak’s support, Vikram secured a job at Dr. Path Lab in Lucknow, earning a salary of ₹3.4 LPA. In addition to this job, Vikram is still associated with the teaching field and continues to help needy children with their education. He is currently preparing for government officer-level exams, aspiring to create systemic change. His ultimate goal is not just personal success but to be a catalyst for meaningful transformation in society.
Achievements
“I believe that education, determination, and a heart willing to help can change lives,” Vikram shares. From walking miles to school to helping others find their footing in life, Vikram’s story is living proof of this belief. He continues to dream big and work tirelessly, proving that no obstacle is too great when faced with courage, and no act of kindness is too small to make a difference.
Conclusion
Vikram’s journey of education, determination, and service to others stands as an example for us all. His unwavering belief in the power of education and the drive to help those in need is a beacon of hope for many. With every challenge he overcomes, Vikram continues to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles.
