Students with lack of support system / students from Bihar, India

I grew up in Bihar, India, and I’m committed to helping students lacking support networks.

  • If you are under‑represented, low‑income, or from the Seemanchal region, please contact me – I’m happy to mentor, collaborate, or point you toward campus resources.
  • “First‑generation” and “no‑support” students are especially encouraged to reach out.
