Jiya Rathore joined The Lightship Initiative in Grade 12 as a responsible and determined student who managed her studies independently. With her father serving in the CRPF, she has always taken her education seriously.

Since joining Lightship, Jiya has seen a significant transformation in her confidence and communication. Through Spoken English and personality development sessions, she gradually moved from being reserved to expressing herself more comfortably and participating actively.

Now in her second year of Electronics and Communication Engineering at L.D. College of Engineering, she initially faced challenges understanding lectures in English. With continued support and practice, she has gained the confidence to engage in class and communicate effectively.

Jiya aspires to complete her engineering degree and build a career in the technology field. She takes pride in her growth in confidence and communication, along with her academic achievements.
