Chandni Radheshyam Prasad

From student to saviour

Chandni comes from a humble background—her father drives an auto rickshaw, her mother is a homemaker, and she has four siblings. She moved from a government school in Andheri to a private, English-medium school for her class 10 (SSC), with support from Abhyudaya, including coaching classes.

“Abhyudaya acts as a bridge between dreams and reality. They not only provide academic support but also offer emotional, financial, and social guidance.”

As a student, Chandni’s life was a golden period of learning, freedom, and self-discovery.

However, behind the cheerful faces and campus fun, she faced struggles that shaped her journey.

The transition from school to college brought both opportunities and challenges, and adjusting to this new phase was often overwhelming. Balancing studies with part-time jobs to support herself took a toll on her emotional and mental health. Her mentors were a source of guidance and strength during these times.

She pursued science and, with excellent scores, secured admission to Bhavan’s College. Chandni went on to earn a BSc in Nursing and has been a registered nurse at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital & Research Centre for the past three years, where she is responsible for providing patient care, monitoring recovery, and assisting in medical procedures.

“Being a nurse is both rewarding and challenging. We deal with life-and-death situations. which can be mentally draining. Balancing personal life with a demanding schedule is also a challenge. Despite these struggles, I continue to serve with compassion and strength, making a real difference in people’s lives every day.”

Chandni is now preparing for exams to work overseas—continuing her journey of impact and growth.
