For Shubham Pandit, becoming a computer engineer was a dream built on hard work and determination. But financial constraints threatened to end his journey before it began.
Shubham’s father, Vishnu Pandit, works as an office assistant and also takes up cloth alteration work to support the family. Though he worked tirelessly, funding his son’s professional education was beyond his means.
When the family faced this challenge, Nandita Sisodia, wife of Pradeep Sisodia, vice-president of the Rotary Club of Chandigarh Midtown, RID 3080, stepped in. Impressed by Shubham’s academic potential and determination, she reached out to various organisations and corporate contacts to find support for his education.
Her persistent efforts resulted in a CSR-sponsored scholarship. On June 5, 2026, she coordinated his admission to the Computer Science Engineering programme at Chitkara University, Baddi. The sponsorship, worth about ₹8.2 lakh, covers tuition fees, transportation, and other educational expenses.
For Shubham and his family, the support meant more than financial assistance; it turned a distant dream into reality.
