Roopini comes from a poor economic background where her mother works as a domestic help to support the family. She had to take a loan she could not afford, to fund her daughter’s education. Roopini had consistently scored well in her studies and wanted to pursue a Diploma in Electronics & Communication (E/C). Her good academic scores helped her receive the scholarship when she was just 15 years old. Today, she is employed as Tech Support for Tayana Software Solutions Ltd., earning a salary of Rs. 12,000 per month. Her determination hasn’t wavered and she still works hard today to give her family the comforts and better quality of life that they deserve.
