Nandini Jadhav joined The Lightship Initiative in Grade 9 as a quiet yet highly dedicated student with strong aspirations. She quickly stood out for her aptitude in mathematics and science, securing 4th rank in her district in the NMMS examination.

Today, she is pursuing Computer Engineering at L.J. Institute of Engineering and Technology. Over the years, Nandini has steadily grown in both academic performance and confidence, supported by mentorship and guidance that helped her build discipline, communication skills,
and a strong learning mindset.

She did face challenges along the way, including low confidence and difficulty in certain subjects, but with consistent support and encouragement, she was able to overcome them and strengthen her foundation.

Outside academics, Nandini enjoys playing kho-kho and hopes to travel the world one day. She takes pride in the confidence and progress she has achieved and continues to work towards her goal of becoming a computer engineer.
