Meet our #SAMARTHFellows Pragati Singh’s journey from a shy girl in a small village in Uttar Pradesh to a passionate development professional is a testament to her constant learning and growth. Raised in a close-knit family in Jaunpur, Pragati enjoyed arts, crafts, and cooking during her childhood. Though she initially struggled with her studies, her parents' emphasis on education gradually sparked her love for learning. In 2023, she earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University. Pragati then joined the Milaan Foundation, first as a Girl Icon, leading her peers, and later managing social action projects focused on health and education. Her dedication to creating an inclusive world for girls fueled her rise in the development sector. Currently, as part of her Gandhi Fellowship at the Piramal Foundation, Pragati works on sustainable community development, implementing projects and collaborating with diverse stakeholders. Through the Samarth Fellowship, she is further deepening her understanding of the social sector while sharpening her skills, supported by her mentors and peers. Though her journey has had its challenges, Pragati remains committed to making a lasting social impact as she continues to grow and inspire others.

Meet our #SAMARTHFellows A pursuit of food technology and public policy, driven by a passion to address malnutrition and improve community health through innovative, sustainable solutions. Apoorva J.’s journey is fueled by a love for debate, rational thinking, and a passion for playing badminton and promoting well-being. Raised in the fast-paced city of Delhi, Apoorva channeled her passion for science by earning a degree in Food Technology from the prestigious University of Delhi. Her career began in food safety and quality, where she played a key role in product development and ensuring regulatory compliance. This experience fueled her growing interest in the intersection of food, health, and societal well-being, setting the stage for her impactful journey ahead. To deepen her knowledge and broaden her impact, she joined a fellowship with the Quality Council of India, which helped her gain insights into public policy, particularly in food security and public health. Now, she focuses on tackling issues like malnutrition and anemia. By blending her technical expertise with her policy insights, she works toward sustainable, long-term solutions for better nutrition and health. Apoorva strongly believes in the mantra, “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard,” by Tim Notke.

Meet our #SAMARTHFellows From a small town in India’s heartland- Madhya Pradesh to the campus of political studies at Delhi University, Nayan Bansal's journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding and solving the challenges faced by rural communities. Nayan grew up in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, a town known for its sweet Gajak and agricultural roots. His childhood was simple and filled with memories of playing street games like ‘Gulli Danda’ and ‘Pakdam Pakdai’. In 2013, Nayan’s life changed when he joined Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, leaving home and experiencing new people, hostel life, and valuable lessons. He started preparing for the UPSC exam while studying Political Science at Dyal Singh Evening College, Delhi University. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing the struggles of rural people around him made him rethink his path. Instead of UPSC, he chose to dive deeper into political science, focusing on the issues facing his community. He is presently pursuing his MA in Political Science at Delhi University. Beyond studies, he enjoys playing chess and has participated in college competitions. He’s also curious about how technology can solve social and environmental problems. Nayan’s journey into the social development sector has just begun, with the Samarth Fellowship marking a new chapter. His experiences have taught him an important lesson: “Change is needed for growth, but action is what makes change possible.” Shweta | Nitish | Gulshan | Avnish | Shashi #MeetSAMARTHFellows #SAMARTHFellowship #SFP2024 #passionate #socialsector #politicalscience #DU #growthjourney #rural #academics #volunteer #leadership #team #SSFwelcomes #youth #MadhyaPradesh #sarvasandhi #SSF #Sandhi #India
