Piyush Halder, the grandson of one of our long-serving staff members, is a remarkable example of resilience in the face of adversity. From a young age, Piyush has encountered significant personal challenges, including family separation and, more recently, the loss of his mother following a battle with breast cancer.
Despite these hardships and limited financial resources, his family remained steadfast in their commitment to his education. At a critical juncture in his academic journey, the Gabbi Basra Memorial Fund stepped in through our sponsorship programme, providing much-needed support as he entered Class XI.
With this timely assistance, Piyush has been able to continue his studies without interruption. We are pleased to share that he has successfully progressed to Class XII and remains focused and determined to achieve his goals.
As he prepares for the upcoming West Bengal Higher Secondary Examinations, Piyush’s journey stands as a testament to courage, perseverance, and the transformative impact of timely support. His story highlights how targeted interventions can help young individuals overcome adversity and continue striving toward a brighter future.
