Deekshitha’s inspiring journey exemplifies the power of determination and the transformative impact of a supportive system. Her father is a farmer and her mother a homemaker; she was close to her grandfather, who suffered from diabetes, which often forced them to visit hospitals. Deekshitha envisioned creating an affordable care device to assist patients and hospital staff. Her innovative spirit and dedication earned her the prestigious honour of being a Rise Global Winner 2024—making her the first student from an Indian government school to achieve this milestone. A student of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) Bangalore Urban, she was recognised as one of the 100 Rise Global Winners in 2024. This prestigious award places her among the top 2 per cent of applicants globally, selected from over 5,000 submissions. At Avanti Fellows, we are proud to have been part of her journey. Through academic guidance, mentorship, and resources, we supported Deekshitha in bringing her vision to life. Her success is a testament to what students can achieve when given the tools and encouragement to unlock their full potential.
