Patron
Smt Urmila Gupta
Service, selfless service only inculcates in a person who has experienced struggles but comes out of it wisely while taking people ahead who are along with them.
Our Patron Smt Urmila Gupta is one such person. Born in 1951 in an orthodox family in a small village where a school was just a noun and not known to anyone, with an attitude of steel she managed to cross social barriers and chose education as her main priority while giving hope to village girls to do the same. In our country which had just achieved its freedom and was still struggling to establish a republic, she managed to complete her schooling along with a master’s degree in Hindi and Economics after marriage with the support of his husband Dr. Subhash Chandra.
During her studies, she remained firm to her roots and achieved NCC Cadets Certificate at that time which is still a dream for many students. She managed to raise all of her children to the mark and made sure education was a topmost priority for all. All three children (two daughters are Doctors and Son, an Engineer) are now well established and successful in respective fields with their cheerful and intelligent and strong offsprings.
It was the will of steel that made it possible, she lost her husband at the age when their love and care started blossoming. With her spouse, she became a member of Rotary Club Pantnagar and worked for many years towards the society and is still an active Rotarian member to support the cause for society.
Her one aspect which is why she is a patron of SwastiSukham is her interest in education and helping everyone around to educate. She has the wisest and clear way of thinking which is practical and applicable in the changing environment.
She is not only a Patron for us but an ambassador and under her influence and guidance, we can help and motivate other women so that they never fall short of confidence in the work they do.
