These Inspirational Stories from the Glow and Lovely Careers Will Motivate You to Create Your Own Path

When we think of success, it means different things for all of us. For some, it is fighting against the odds to complete college graduation, for some, it is becoming the first woman in the family to get a job. For others, it may be to qualify and attain a scholarship that will help further their dreams. In a country like ours, a growing number of women are looking to work and are making their own success stories in the process. Glow \& Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair \& Lovely Career Foundation) scholarships have enabled several women to pursue their education and move a step closer to their dream of having a career. There may be a number of reasons why someone might be in need of a scholarship. We have as an example, the case of Arshia, who was a B Tech student, to see how scholarships help students. Arshia was in the first year of her graduation when her father passed away in an accident. To support the family, her mother began running a small shop. As the oldest in her family, Arshia knew she needed to complete her graduation and find a job to support her family. She applied and received a scholarship from the Glow and Lovely Careers, which covered the cost of an entire year of her education. This significantly eased her financial burden and enabled her to focus on her studies, thus setting her up well for the future. Another amazing story is that of Swati Bhura. She is from Kolkata and when she was quite young, she lost her mother. To help support her education and her family, she began taking tuitions while she was still finishing school. Her goal was to complete her education and become a Chartered Accountant. She was looking for scholarships for women and found out about our scholarship program through a newspaper advertisement. She won a scholarship and was not only able to successfully complete her CA course, she has also worked with some of the most prestigious companies including, Deloitte and Coca Cola since becoming a CA. Sometimes, we may not be able to understand how to apply for a scholarship. Take the example of Vijaya from Seondha. Vijaya was already an Electronics engineer but wanted to become an Indian Public Services officer. She even quit her job to prepare but as luck would have it, she could not clear the preliminary that was held in 2017. A good friend of hers informed of the opportunity to apply for a scholarship by the Glow and Lovely Careers. When Vijaya applied and was selected for the scholarship, it gave her the chance to focus completely on her IPS preparation, freeing her of the stress and financial burden. To follow your passion and become a successful woman, you may need help that might not be easily available at times. These women showed us the power of persistence and also finding the right help. If you too feel like you need some financial aid in order to pursue your education or prepare for an exam, you should certainly try to apply for a [scholarship with the Glow and Lovely Careers](https://www.glowandlovelycareers.in/en/scholarship-for-women).

Minal Bhosle, The Woman Who Created India's First COVID 19 Testing Kit

The fight against the Coronavirus has brought to the forefront healthcare workers and helpers who are risking their lives to help the nation. Many inspirational women are playing a critical role in pushing through the daily hardships and doing the best they can in the fight against the pandemic. One such person is Minal Dakhave Bhosle, Mylab Discovery Solution's research and development chief. If you're interested in the field of science and medicine, her story will inspire you to pursue a career in the field. Minal Bhosale and her team at Mylab created India's first coronavirus test kit. The kit was manufactured in a short time of just six weeks compared to the industry standard of three to four months. Yet the most remarkable thing about the creation of the kit is that it all happened while she was pregnant. On March 18, she submitted her testing kit for evaluation to the National Institute of Virology. The same evening, she also submitted the kit to the Indian FDA and the drugs control authority CDSCO for commercial approval, just an hour before she went to a hospital to deliver her baby! She is quoted saying, "If you carry out 10 tests on the same sample, all 10 results should be the same. And we achieved that. Our kit was perfect." Minal and her team had only begun work on the testing kit in February after she left the hospital with a pregnancy complication. "It was an emergency, so I took this on as a challenge. I have to serve my nation," she said, also mentioning that her team, which consisted of 10 members, worked tirelessly to ensure a quick turnaround. Women like Minal are an excellent example of successful women in India who are driven and do not sit on their past success. During the 2009 outbreak of the Swine Flu disease, Minal was also part of the team working on a vaccine for the disease at NIV, Pune. Her efforts show us that women in science and technology in the country are carrying out some of the most pioneering work. Every kit manufactured by Mylab is capable of testing 100 samples at a cost of only Rupees 1,200. This is almost a quarter of the Rupees 4,500 India was paying to import COVID 19 testing from overseas. Minal and her team also made sure that the test diagnosis was available much quicker. The kit gives a diagnosis in two and a half hours compared to imported testing kits, which take up to seven hours. Women warriors like Minal are the flag bearers for working women who are ambitious and fearless. She is an excellent example of selfless dedication and shows us that it is possible to successfully achieve our goals even when the odds may be against us. Like her, you too can create a path for yourself in the field of science and who knows, maybe someday your name shall be etched in history.
