Impact:
      Swapnil Sawant our aspirant from Astitva batch is the youngest child in his family. He is living with his mother who is deaf and dumb and with his two sisters. Swapnil's father died when he was just one year old. Thereafter the responsibility of the whole family came on to his mother's shoulders who works as a sweeper in a Parsi trust at Colaba. Swapnil's elder sister quit her schooling in the 9th std to support her mother with her work. Likewise his other two sisters also quit school in the 6th and 7th std respectively.     
However the family wanted Swapnil to be educated and assisted him in all possible ways to take his education seriously. When Swapnil joined New Resolution India he was not sure about his career as he had never thought about it. Also he was quite unsure about his SSC results. He just wanted to pass so that he could get a job to support his family. To support his education he would wake up at 5.30 in the morning to wash cars of people in the vicinity. He would also do odd jobs in the Parsi trust for which he would get paid. It could be anything right from running sundry errands for some to mopping someone's floor. 
He was very happy when he passed his SSC examination with a decent second class and was also proud that he could score more marks than his counterpart who had all the facilities. At Astitva he was introduced to English, Computers, Life skills training and career guidance. He said that he has become focused and would not educate himself just for the sake of it. He has planned his career pathway. Though it would not be possible to finish his graduation, he will complete his HSC and then go in for an ITI course. After which he would happily support his family. His ideal is his Mom who against all odds tried to give her best to all her children and he would look forward to keep her happy all her life.
