Summer Internship in Mumbai & Hyderabad – Project Research – Teach For India
Sample this
Looking back in retrospect, I can confidently say that TFI’s commitment to create value for its people has transcended into it proving to be a pivotal turning point in my life. The friends I made amongst the Fellows/staff and the sense of possibility instilled in me shall all go a long way in preparing me for a successful career ahead. – Rohan Parakh (IIT Kanpur)
And this
Impressed by the happy environment here and motivated by the strong sense of possibility, each day I work as much as I did before an exam in IIT and I still feel I should do more because I know, every action of mine is measured in terms of each child’s progress. I am proud to be a part of this mega change, a part of this movement which has taken pace and will bring out the vision that one day every child will attain excellent education! – Sneha Biswas (IIT Kharagpur)
