Hi, I am Anjali Mohan from Kerala. When I was a child, I always dreamed about the stars and about becoming an astronaut like Kalpana Chawla. But I had some concerns as I belong to a humble family and I grow up seeing my parents struggle hard to raise me and my sister well.

I thought my life will change when I got selected for BS/MS programme at IISER Kolkata in 2020. I thought that I could chase my dreams with my hard work. But I am worried about the high fee structure which needs me to pay around Rs 4.6 lakh fee in five years.

 It is quite a big amount for financially backward people like us. My father is a daily wage labourer and mother is an LIC agent. We have struggled hard to reach this level. I don't want my family to take a student loan and take a huge financial burden. I am confident about my abilities because I have done well in the past exams (97 percent in Class XII) .

I wish you will support and guide me in this journey. I hope I reach where I want to be, despite my financial constraints. I hope I can repay this help to some other after I conquer my dreams. Can you help to pursue my goals?
