In the heart of a small village near Dwarka, Gagliya Ramiben Nathubhai dares to dream big. Despite growing up in modest surroundings, her aspirations soar higher than the fields of her family’s agricultural land. With a burning desire to become a doctor and serve her community, Gagliya has embarked on a journey filled with challenges and hope.
Having secured an impressive 89% in Class XII, Gagliya’s dream of pursuing a career in medicine seemed within reach. However, the harsh reality of financial constraints threatened to shatter her aspirations. With academic expenses soaring and her family’s annual income barely meeting ends, Gagliya faced an uphill battle.
It was during this pivotal moment that Gagliya’s life took a transformative turn. Through word of mouth, she learned about the Amitabh Shah founded NGO Yuva Unstoppable Scholarship Programme, offering a lifeline to students like her striving to overcome financial barriers and pursue higher education. With hope rekindled, Gagliya seized the opportunity and applied for the scholarship.
For the past two years, Yuva Unstoppable has been Gagliya’s steadfast companion on her academic journey. ‘The scholarship provides crucial financial support, alleviating the burden of expensive textbooks, hostel fees, and education expenses. With this portion taken care of, students and their family can concentrate on their education’, says Amitabh Shah, Founder Yuva Unstoppable. With each passing day, Gagliya’s dream of becoming a doctor grew closer to reality, thanks to the unwavering support of Yuva Unstoppable.
Currently in her second year of MBBS at B J Medical College, Ahmedabad, Gagliya’s journey has been marked by resilience and determination. Living miles away from her family in the hostel facility, she has sacrificed the comforts of home to pursue her academic dreams. Despite the distance, her spirit remains unbroken, fuelled by the desire to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Gagliya’s vision extends beyond personal success; it encompasses a commitment to her community’s well-being. In a village lacking adequate healthcare facilities, she dreams of establishing a full-fledged hospital, ensuring timely and accessible medical care for all. Through her journey, Gagliya exemplifies the transformative power of education and the indomitable human spirit. A sentiment that echoes through the vision and mission of Yuva Unstoppable.
As per Amitabh Shah, ‘Education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for every child, regardless of their background or circumstances’. Through the Yuva Unstoppable Scholarship Programme, dreams are nurtured, and barriers are overcome, paving the way for a generation of empowered individuals like Gagliya to thrive and inspire.
