Meet woman, who is hired for record-breaking salary by Microsoft, struggled with english language, not from IIT, IIM, IIIT or NIT, her package is Rs…, name is…
(AI- representational image) Many young students in India dream of studying at IITs, IIMs and NITs. But success always doesn't mean that it has to be associated with big name of colleges or institutes. Sometimes, hard work, talent, and strong will can take you just as far. One such inspiring story is that of Srijan Agarwal, a young woman from Uttar Pradesh, who landed a job at Microsoft with a Rs. 50 lakh package and that is without going to IIT or IIM. Srijan is from Ghantaghar area in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. Her father works in a private job, and her mother is a homemaker. She completed her schooling up to Class 12 from Ramchandra Agarwal Girls Inter College. After school, Srijan got admission to AITH (Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology for Handicapped) in Kanpur through the UP State Entrance Exam. Until Class 12, she studied in Hindi medium, which made her engineering days in English very challenging. In the beginning, she struggled a lot to understand her subjects, but instead of giving up, she worked extra hours and focused on improving her weaknesses and finally made it. In the second year of her Srijan secured an internship at Microsoft. Later, in 2023, the tech giant offered her a full-time job with a salary package of Rs. 50 lakh per year. Srijan is not only a bright student, but she is also the first engineer in her family. Her journey proves that with dedication, anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter where they come from or what language they studied in. Srijan's story is a reminder to every young student that success doesn't always need a fancy degree. Sometimes, all it takes is belief in yourself and the courage to keep going.

Hikal introduces Digital Infrastructure at 130 year old Zilla Parishad School in Alibaug
PRNewswire Alibaug (Maharashtra) [India], June 26: Hikal, a preferred long-term partner to global life sciences companies, has strengthened its commitment to rural education and sustainable development through a major community support initiative at the 130 year old Zilla Parishad Marathi School in Zirad, Alibaug. Undertaken in partnership with Utkarsh Global Foundation, this effort is part of Hikal's broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, Srijan, which focuses on creating shared value across communities near its operational sites. In response, Hikal Limited transformed the 130 year school environment by providing 70 new wooden benches to replace broken furniture, eight LED smart TVs (43 inches) to facilitate digital and interactive learning, one projector with a screen for student skill-building exercises, and a multifunction printer to ease administrative and academic workflows. In addition, a shaded handwash area was constructed to improve hygiene standards, ensuring children can maintain cleanliness and comfort throughout the school day, regardless of weather conditions. These enhancements aim to create a more engaging and safe learning environment, encourage regular attendance, and promote better academic outcomes. "At Hikal, we've always believed that the success of a business must extend beyond balance sheets. Real value is created when growth is shared, when the communities around us move forward with us. That belief has guided us for decades and remains the essence of our CSR philosophy. This school, like so many others in rural India, has long carried the weight of potential, bright children, and committed teachers, but constrained by limited infrastructure. Today, we've taken a small but meaningful step towards unlocking that potential. It's a reflection of our enduring commitment to enabling inclusive growth and shaping a more equitable future," said Mr. Jai Hiremath - Executive Chairman, Hikal Limited. "At Hikal, we see education as the cornerstone of progress. Building on the strong foundation laid by our leadership, we are committed to creating lasting impact in the communities where we operate.

10-member committee to find out Saran's establishment date
Chhapra: Saran administration has constituted a 10-member committee, including officials and some others, to find out the date of its establishment, or to suggest a suitable one with historical or other importance to adopt. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The responsibility of finding a suitable date has been given to the district development commissioner (DDC), Yatindra Kumar Pal along with nine other members, and the panel is hopeful of finding the district formation's date soon. Saran DM Aman Sameer, after joining at Chhapra, was seriously trying to locate its date of establishment with the purpose of celebrating the day. Finally, he has set up a committee to find out or decide on Saran's formation date. Many districts in the state have their establishment dates that can be readily found, while some do not have specific, officially recorded dates of creation. Such districts have adopted a suitable date and celebrate the day every year. Being one of the oldest districts in this state, Saran shares the same fate. Neither in the gazetteer of Saran nor in any govt records is its date of establishment mentioned. East Champaran, which was carved out of Saran in 1869, has adopted Oct 2, the date of Gandhi Jayanti, as its establishment day. Siwan, which was carved out of Saran (it was a subdivision of Saran) in 1972, also adopted Dec 3, birth anniversary of Rajendra Prasad, the 1st President of India, as its creation date. However, Saran has an interesting history. On Aug 12, 1765, the 'Diwani' of Bihar, Bengal, and Odisha was handed over to the East India Company by the Moghul Emperor. 'Diwani' refers to the right to collect revenue and manage the administration of a territory. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now There were eight Sarakars (equivalent to revenue districts), including Saran and Champaran. According to the Hindi version of the Saran gazetteer (Srijan), written by the then Saran DM Deepak Anand, modern Saran was part of Kaushal Pradesh. He mentioned that in 1866, the British separated Saran and Champaran. It remained part of the Patna division till 1829 and later was transferred to the Tirhut division in 1908 after its formation. At present, Saran is part of the Saran division, which was formed on April 23, 1981.
