The 3rd batch of Saadhana (2019-21), had 39 girl students. 37 of them have qualified NEET exams, of which minimum 7girls are sure to get seats in Medical Colleges to pursue MBBS Course and become Doctors. They’re all students from the poorest background, having the merit as well as the ability, but lack the financial means. Saadhana - a project of Rashtrotthana Parishat to Reach the Unreached, made it possible for them to gain the ability to crack NEET entrance exam and attain good scores, through which they can get into very good medical institutions.
In a batch of 39, it is a highly commendable achievement for 7 girl students to have qualified in NEET. This has been possible due to academic discipline, strong commitment, time management as well as rigorous training from Saadhana and BASE to help them secure seats at their aspirational field of studies to serve the society.
