Aditya Birla Group - Building Trust With The Nation | Shishupal Kumar, IIM Raipur

I come from a lower middle-class family where resources were scarce. In our school days, I was not totally focused on my goals and wasted one of the precious times of my childhood in some random activities. I did not realize the importance of education at that point in time. After a few years when I became active to some extent, I felt the importance of education, especially towards my family. It was the only option for me to improve my quality of life.

 The biggest challenge in my life, I believe is to achieve higher education despite the tough economic and environmental condition. Since then I rigorously started studying and completed my 10th and 12th. I remembered the quotes of late Shree A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, “If You want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.". It always motivated me to put the efforts into studies and these efforts I can say now have paid me off really well. I achieved my goal of getting exemplary higher education in my life. I have no words to say thanks to my parents, relatives and my dear friends.
