Chanchal’s Journey to Becoming a State Ranker with BTF

In a quiet town called Ganganagar in Rajasthan, lives a determined girl named Chanchal. She’s currently in Class 11 at Mahatma Gandhi Government School. Her story is not just about marks or medals, but about hope, resilience, and the difference one opportunity can make.

Chanchal comes from a modest family. Her father is a shopkeeper and her mother a homemaker. She has one sister, and like many girls in similar homes, she grew up knowing that education would be her way forward. But financial constraints meant extra tuitions were out of reach.
“We couldn’t afford private tuitions,” Chanchal says, “but I still wanted to study hard and make my parents proud.”

Chanchal first heard about Boddhi Tree Foundation (BTF) from her friends when she was in Class 8. Curious and hopeful, she joined their free online classes.
She started with Maths and Science. What she didn’t expect was how much she’d gain — not just in knowledge, but also in confidence.

“Before BTF, my studies had been affected badly due to the lockdown,” she recalls. “But after joining, everything started to fall into place.”

With the support of dedicated BTF teachers, Chanchal bounced back stronger than ever.

Chanchal still remembers the names of her BTF mentors with deep gratitude:

Ma’am Samrudhi, who taught Maths in Class 9 and early Class 10, made even the toughest sums easy.

Ma’am Nupur, who taught Science and helped her score an incredible 99 marks.

Sir Mukul, who taught Maths in Class 8.

Ma’am Prabhjot, her Science teacher in Class 8.

They weren’t just teaching chapters — they were helping her build a future.
Even when there were network issues, the teachers rescheduled classes, took sessions on Sundays, and ensured she never missed a topic. This kind of dedication made all the difference.

When Chanchal got her Class 10 results, she couldn’t believe it — 100 in Maths, 99 in Science, and A grades in all subjects. Thanks to this, she also received a tablet under a government scheme.

“I was so happy, I started crying. I just couldn’t believe it,” she says. “It was all possible because of BTF.”

Her family was overjoyed. Recognition poured in from everywhere — medals, certificates, local societies even invited her to honor her achievement. News reporters came to interview her. Her parents beamed with pride.

Chanchal has big dreams. She wants to become a Maths professor someday. Teaching excites her, and she hopes to inspire other students just like her teachers inspired her.
“Ma’am Samrudhi and Ma’am Nupur showed me what a good teacher can do. I want to be that for someone else.”

She also knows that BTF will continue to be her support system in the future. She believes that no matter how far she goes, BTF will         be there to guide her.
“I really expect that BTF will help me achieve my goals,” she says sincerely.

Chanchal is also creative. She loves cooking and enjoys landscape drawing. She remembers how fun and interactive her BTF classes were — with activities, quizzes, and cultural slideshows.
“Sir Mukul from Dehradun used to show us slides of the local culture of that region and the scenic views of the Himalayas. It made learning feel like a journey,” she recalls fondly.

Her message to other students- “Please don’t miss this chance. If you get to join BTF, take it with both hands. They don’t just teach — they guide, motivate, and believe in you. That’s what made me who I am today.”

Chanchal’s journey proves that with the right support, even the most ordinary circumstances can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
She may have started her journey in a small town, but her dreams — and her spirit — are limitless.
