Disha Kant

“I was also not interested in higher studies earlier, but Nalanda changed my mindset. I realized that education is essential to live with dignity. ”

Sukro Chakma

“At Nalanda, I saw many students coming from different states. They were all living together and studying together. I felt really impressed and thought, yes, I can also go through this and benefit from it.”

Puja Helunde

“At Nalanda, I learned much more than just my course. I learned how to bring change in the community. The learning environment there encouraged me to think independently, beyond just textbooks.”
