Parkshala

This Engineer’s Day, we would like to share the story of Vishvjeet — now working as an AI Engineer. Here is what he has to say:

“Since childhood, I was fascinated by technology — hardware, software, and, to be honest, mostly games. Back then, I believed anyone working with technology was a scientist because I didn’t yet know what a game developer or software engineer was. I just knew I wanted to be like them.

As I grew older, reality struck. Pursuing this dream seemed difficult, especially with financial challenges. That’s when life took a turn — I was introduced to Parkshala. At first, it was just exploration, following a friend, but it became one of the most defining parts of my journey.

After scoring well in my board exams, Priya di gave me an opportunity I could never have imagined — a 100% scholarship at Gyanshree, one of the most prestigious schools. For two years, I studied there without paying a single rupee. The exposure, experiences, and growth I gained will stay with me forever.

Later, I did well in my boards again, but since government engineering colleges don’t admit on board marks alone, I had to prepare for JEE. Once more, the financial hurdle stood in my way. Even loans didn’t work out. And once again, Parkshala stood beside me — funding my entire college fee.

Today, when I look back, I realize that without the constant support of Parkshala and Priya di, my dream of becoming an engineer might have remained just that — a dream.

On this Engineer’s Day, I feel deeply grateful. Becoming an engineer was once a distant dream, but today it is my reality — thanks to Parkshala.

Dignity should never be optional.

In a disturbing incident, schoolgirls were allegedly forced to undress to check for period stains — a violation of both privacy and basic human rights.

Why does this happen?

1. Deep-rooted menstrual stigma.

2. Lack of awareness and empathy in schools.

3. Absence of gender-sensitivity training for staff.

4. Silence around period health and dignity.

What must change?

✅ Menstrual education in all schools

✅ Stronger student rights and anti-shaming policies

✅ Sensitisation for teachers and authorities

✅ Conversations that normalise — not punish — periods.

When schools become spaces of shame, we fail our children.

Let’s raise girls with dignity, not fear.

Let’s make space for periods — not punish them.
