Student Testimonials

Debapriya Dey

Age 23

I come from a very humble background - a lower-middle-class family where my dad was the breadwinner. Unfortunately, he had a major accident at work, breaking his spinal cord from a fall. It hit us hard financially, making ends meet was a struggle. My parents worked tirelessly to support my education. That's when we found Swayam. They welcomed us with open arms, offering a new hope.
Since then, Swayam has been a rock for us. They helped with my educational expenses and were there with encouraging words, pushing me to follow my heart. They didn't just stop at financial support; they listened to our problems, organized outings where we learned and had a blast. Swayam is a blessing, and I'll forever be grateful. Now, I'm pursuing an M.A., dreaming of making my parents and Swayam proud. My goal is to give back the kindness and support I've received from Swayam.

Babai Mondal

I am pursuing B-Tech in Civil Engineering after completing my diploma in civil engineering. The journey from Class 11 to B-Tech has been made possible, and it's all thanks to Swayam. My father, a daily labourer, couldn't afford to finance my higher education, but Swayam stepped in to support me. They've been with us not just financially but also mentally, even organizing trips for us.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Swayam looked after me and my family, providing assurance and cooperation. Just like parents stand by a child in any situation, they have stood with me throughout this journey. Swayam’s contribution is like that of parents, indispensable to every step of my life development. I am the first B.Tech Civil Engineer in my family, and it's all possible because of the SWAYAM team. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Saraf and the entire Swayam team.

Age 29

Swayam has been a major part of my life, helping me with my education and other necessities during the pandemic. Swayam is not only a charity for me, it's a significant part of my life. I can say this because I have been associated with Swayam for the past decade. The staff and Mr. Saraf, have helped us so much with our financial needs and have taken care of all the educational burden. Mr. Saraf is one of the most charitable people I have ever met, and the work that he has been doing for so many years is extraordinary. Swayam has all my respect, love, and blessings, and I am eternally grateful to it.

Satish Sharma

I would like to thank our honourable Sir, Mr. Ashok Saraf, who is a great gentleman. Swayam Trust has made us stand on our feet. They have provided us with all the amenities and facilities, be it for studies, entertainment, tours, etc. With the help of Swayam Trust, I pursued my studies, and today I am a Purchasing Manager at HALDIRAM BHUJIAWALA LTD.
So, I would like to thank once again and hope that this trust continues to work like this in the future as well.

Rahul Trivedi

Age 26

I am deeply grateful to Swayam for selecting me for the sponsorship during my academic journey at BGESS School and the Academy of Technology (2014-2019). Your invaluable financial support empowered me to achieve a degree in Computer Science Engineering, paving the way for my success as a Data Scientist at Saint Gobain Mumbai. As the first in my family to pursue Engineering, this achievement was made possible by your sponsorship, allowing me to focus on my studies. Swayam's support not only shaped my path but also contributed to my brother Ayush Trivedi's dream of becoming a Doctor. I am committed to paying it forward by making a positive impact on the educational journeys of future students.

Puja Mishra

College 2nd year & CMA

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Swayam’s unwavering commitment to the education of underprivileged students. The most fulfilling form of charity is providing education to those who dream of a brighter future. When I first met Mr. Saraf in 2015-16, he became a pillar of support for my studies. Not only for me but also for my elder brother, Mr. Saraf and his team have been nothing short of a real-life 'God,' guiding us through our academic journey. Coming from a humble background, my brother and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Mr. Saraf's support. He started helping me from Class 5, and now I find myself in college (2nd year) pursuing a Professional Course in CMA, all thanks to Swayam. My brother, who began in Class 8, is now on the path to becoming a CA. I extend my gratitude once again for sponsoring our education. Mr. Saraf's charitable spirit is a true source of inspiration, making education accessible to students with dreams but facing family challenges. This is my sincere thank you for his generous contributions and encouragement that are shaping me and my brother into great individuals for the future.

Here’s to making a difference!
