and got admitted into B. Tech. in Mechanical Engineering course in Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology. He was brilliant in academics and he also earned distinction in engineering exams as well but financialscarcity stood as a road block. The family’s earnings were spent not only on him but on his two younger siblings who were in school. He came to know about SHDF scholarships when one of his friends shared the advertisement and he applied. He was granted the scholarship thrice.
