Ashutosh Garg’s journey to success began with the National Scholarship, a life-changing opportunity that allowed him to overcome financial barriers and pursue his dreams. This experience sparked a deep desire in him to help others facing similar struggles, and he vowed to make sure that no talented student was held back due to lack of resources.
In 2015, Ashutosh, along with a group of passionate trustees, founded the Swami Dayanand Education Foundation (SDEF). The foundation’s mission is simple yet powerful: provide Merit-cum-Means Scholarships to brilliant students who cannot afford education. Through SDEF, we are giving young adults a shot at a better life and creating a ripple effect of hope and inspiration. Each scholarship awarded is a step closer to building a future where talent determines success.
