Aabha Patel
" I have been connected with the Astitva Foundation since the early years of my college journey, and throughout this time, the entire team has supported me through thick and thin. A special mention goes to Anupam Diwan Ma'am, who has been a guiding angel for me, always ready to help whenever I needed it. She has consistently inspired me to achieve great things in life, both academically and personally. Her words of wisdom have pushed me to never give up attitude.
Today, I have been selected as a Mathematics Lecturer at Swami Aatmanand School, Chingrajpara. This little feather is a result of the guidance and motivation I received from the Astitva Foundation. They not only helped me find the path between right and wrong but also encouraged me to pursue excellence and integrity in every step of my life.
The values instilled by the foundation have given me the confidence to believe in my potential and take on new challenges. I am deeply grateful for the support I have received, and I look forward to continuing this journey of growth, learning, and giving back to society in the same way I was helped. "

Vidya Yadav
"I joined Astitva Foundation during my undergraduate studies. At that time, I was completely dependent on my family for my education. After becoming a part of the foundation and enrolling in the mentoring program, I was inspired to become self-reliant, which further boosted my confidence. Earlier, I was afraid to travel alone, but after joining self-reliance project of Astitva Foundation, I gained the confidence to step out, interact with people, and improve my communication skills. Now, I am able to travel to Raipur and have successfully completed my Masters degree.
Currently, I tutor children from grades 1 to 10 while also preparing for competitive exams. Thanks to Astitva Foundation, I am now financially independent and can afford to buy books, test series, exam forms, and take coaching with my income because I am determined to advance in my career. I feel deeply motivated by Anupam Diwan Ma’am and want to express my heartfelt gratitude to her for introducing me to Astitva Foundation and guiding me through life’s challenges, and helping me overcome obstacles.
