We are overjoyed to celebrate the remarkable achievement of Bhattaram, an alumnus hailing from a remote village in Rajasthan, who has been awarded the prestigious International Rotary Foundation Scholarship. This highly coveted accolade will support his pursuit of a Ph.D. at the UNESCO-IHE Delft Institute in The Netherlands, one of the world’s leading institutions for water education and sustainable development.

This marks a significant milestone in his academic journey and a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence.

Currently, Bhattaram serves as a Mahatma Gandhi National Fellow at IIM Udaipur. Alongside his professional commitments, he has demonstrated unwavering dedication to advocating for students’ rights, focusing particularly on issues related to scholarships and education policy reforms. We are immensely proud of his journey from humble beginnings to achieving such international recognition. His story exemplifies the power of perseverance, vision, and the determination to create meaningful societal change.

On behalf of Nalanda Academy, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Bhattaram and wish him every success in his Ph.D. and future endeavors.

May his journey continue to inspire others to dream big and work towards making a positive impact in the world!
