I am final year computer science engineering grad from National Capital Region of India.

I recently got selected as one of the top 300 delegates from all across the world for the prestigious Harvard Project for Asian & International Relations, a Harvard College Conference at  Harvard University, USA from 15 Feb to 18 Feb, 2019.

                           

Why should you help me? 

From the last 4 years, I have been active in building community and mentoring students. Coming from a TIER 3 engineering institution gave me a deeper insight and opportunity to see the problem what millions of students in India are facing. I have a dream, a dream to improve the education system of the INDIA, a dream to empower the students of Tier 2 and Tier 3 institutions. There is a numerous number of problems students face in these institutions whether it is awareness about the opportunities or getting good guidance at college.  

Recently, I along with my two other friends recently founded Frontbench, a platform to help the students of tier 2 and tier 3 college students to aware them about the available opportunities and provide guidance in their domain. In Just a month we have got more than 10k+ users and collaboration with 40+ campuses across India.

Attending this Conference will be truly going to give me a lifelong learning experience.

I would be grateful to you for any contribution you made for this. As a token of gesture for your kind work, I would love to send you a personal thank you note for your donation if you can share your contact detail with me at deepak@frontbench.xyz
