“Participate in every activity”
Meet Sai, a diligent B.Tech student whose journey has been marked by passion, innovation, and a drive to make a difference. Through his involvement with Rubaroo, Sai has found a platform to contribute to society and utilised his skills to develop an application to assist students nationwide.
Crossing New Paths
During the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sai dedicated his efforts as a volunteer at the Devarakonda Foundation, where he witnessed firsthand the power of collective action in alleviating societal challenges. During this period, Sai’s path intersected with a Rubaroo volunteer, who recognized Sai’s potential and introduced him to the organisation.
“Mai COVID ke time pe Devarakonda Foundation mein volunteer karta tha. Tab meri pehchan ek Rubaroo volunteer se hui jisne mujhe NGO se introduce karaya. Mere paas laptop and mobile hone ki wajah se mai mera foundation ka targets quickly meet karke manage karta tha. Aur isi wajah se phir mujhe Amar ne bola ki English ki zarurat nhi hai, aap Rubaroo mein aajao.”
Building New Bridges and a Sense of Family
Participation in events like ‘Samjho Toh Express’ exposed Sai to a diverse group, fostering an understanding of different cultures and religions.
“Tab mai Samjho Toh Express mein participate kiya aur kafi diverse group ke saath rehkar constitution aur different culture aur religion ke baare mein jaana. Mujhe yaad hai mere ek family member Himachal mein the, uneh help chahiye thi, toh sirf ek message kiya maine volunteers group mein aur help mil gayi. Yaha kafi supportive aur family jaisa mahol hai.”
From Agaaz to Innovation
Entering the realm of higher education, Sai embarked on his B.Tech journey with renewed vigor, joining Agaaz in 2022, an initiative aimed at nurturing leadership and social responsibility among students.
“Phir mai B.Tech join kiya aur Agaaz 2022 mein join kiya jahase maine kafi logo se interact kiya jo dusre religion se the aur social action project bhi kiya. Us samay mai community cetnre mein actively part lene laga aur ek technical internship ka mauka mila mujha yaha par. Toh maine phir ek chota application banaya jisse students ki help ho. Mai apne icon RS Praveen Kumar ki raah par chalte hue logo ki madad karna chahta hu. Logo ko mera project kafi pasand aaya aur district collector ne bhi acha response diya aur implementation ke liya kaha.”
Looking Ahead
Reflecting on his journey thus far, Sai remains grateful for the opportunities afforded to him by Rubaroo, acknowledging the organization’s role in shaping him into a compassionate and socially conscious individual.
“Aaj mai final year mein hu aur mai garv ke saath keh sakta hu logo ko Rubaroo join karna chahiye, har program mein part lena chahiye bina dare. Bas meri ek hi asha hai yeh kaam ab Tier 2 and Tier 3 ke students tak bhi pahuche.”
