I was born in Kolkata but raised in the northeast with people of a different culture. Learning their ways and adapting with them was difficult for me. But I accepted the challenge by being the class monitor during my school days. Thus I was introduced to leadership at a tender age and had to manage student grievances and fulfil class resources from school repositories. Hence, I see leadership as keeping others interests above yours. This belief led me to donate blood in voluntary blood donation camp organised by State Blood Transfusion Council, West Bengal.
Being a member of All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), while serving in Bank of Maharashtra, I took an active part in fighting for the rights of security guards in our bank, who were governed by a third-party security agency. Promoting sustainable economic growth and decent work for all is the need of the hour for increasing employment opportunities and reducing informal employment and our strike was a testament to that.
While in college, I presented several papers solely and in groups as a part of the curriculum tasks. In such activities I used to establish an understanding with my teammates and eventually led them towards task completion with good results. Following this interest, I authored several papers during 2015-19, which included a paper entitled ‘Gamification: a smart rejoinder to workforce happiness through discretionary effort’. The paper was co-authored by two more fellows, but I got the opportunity to present it in the International HR Conference on HR Trends 2030 organised by Indian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management. The conference was chaired by several dignitaries from the industry and the academic world. During my presentation I justified to my learned audience, the purpose of my paper. The chairperson further validated my point and gave valuable feedback. Lifelong learning opportunities and equitable quality education is a birth right of every human-being. Being a Chevening scholar I will enhance my learning opportunities and this in return will enable me to spread my experience in my country. Thus, inspiring and leading people towards quality education.
During my enrolment in Arena Animation for learning 2D-3D design in the year 2016 -17, I got an opportunity to represent my centre in Orbit Live 2017, which is an annual animation industry event held in Mumbai where delegates from several countries including UK, attended. I competed in the 3D Modeling category which needed dexterity with computer graphics software, cooperation amongst members of different ethnicity, decision-making for task execution and self-evaluation. This experience taught me cooperation locally and globally among countries that made this event possible. This event turns out as a part of Sustainable Development Goal where developed countries aided a developing country towards better education. Chevening Scholarship will enhance my knowledge in revitalising the global partnership for sustainable development with its common objectives of strengthening global peace, security and governance and building public and civic leaders to reform and improve the same, thus increasing official development assistance.
