Success Story

Asmita Ganvir – From Humble Beginnings to IIT Guwahati

In a small, humble home, dreams often take a backseat to survival. But for Asmita Ganvir, an alumna of Oxford Public School, dreams were not just wishes—they were goals waiting to be achieved.

Born into a poor family, Asmita grew up watching her father work tirelessly to provide for their needs. Life was a constant balancing act between managing expenses and keeping hope alive. Asmita was not just a dreamer—she was a planner. To keep her ambition alive every single day, she set an image of the IIT campus as the wallpaper on her father’s mobile phone. Each time he picked up the phone, they both were reminded of the destination she was striving for. It became a quiet promise between father and daughter: one day, that dream would be real.

At Oxford Public School, Asmita found not just classrooms, but a second home. Her teachers noticed her spark—her eagerness to learn, her habit of staying back after school for extra questions, and her resilience in the face of difficulties. The school went the extra mile, providing her with study materials, additional coaching, and moral support whenever she needed it.

Days turned into years of preparation. While other children enjoyed their evenings, Asmita spent hers buried in books, solving problems late into the night under the dim glow of a single bulb. Her father would quietly watch, his tired hands resting after a long day’s work, his heart full of hope.

Then came the day of triumph. Asmita cracked the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)—one of the toughest exams in the country—and secured admission to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati for her B.Tech. in 2025. It was more than just an achievement; it was a victory for her family, her school, and every dreamer who dares to rise above circumstances.

Today, Asmita’s journey stands as a beacon of inspiration. She is living proof that when a child’s determination meets a parent’s sacrifice and a school’s unwavering support, even the highest mountains can be climbed.

Breaking Barriers, Building Dreams

Tanushree Raut, a bright student of Oxford Public School, has proved that determination can break every barrier. Coming from a very poor family, Tanushree began her schooling in a Marathi-medium school up to Class 8. When she shifted to the English medium at Oxford Public School, the change was not easy. She often struggled to understand lessons and felt left behind. But instead of giving up, Tanushree worked harder—spending extra hours with her teachers, revising every small concept, and gradually improving her confidence.

Her parents, despite financial struggles, stood firmly by her side. The teachers at Oxford Public School also guided her with patience and encouragement. Step by step, Tanushree turned her weakness into strength.

In 2025, her efforts shone brightly when she scored an outstanding 89.90% in the Board Examination. For a girl who once feared whether she could even cope with English, this was more than a result—it was a symbol of courage, resilience, and hard work.

Today, Tanushree’s journey inspires many students, especially those who believe their background or language is a limitation. She has shown that with perseverance, support, and belief, dreams can indeed become reality.

A Shining Star: The Inspiring Journey of Vidhi Lokhande

Every success story has a spark — and for Vidhi Lokhande, that spark was her dream to study in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. A student of Oxford Public School, Vidhi’s journey was not paved with ease. She faced hardships that could have shaken anyone’s spirit, but she stood firm with faith, courage, and a heart full of hope.

Coming from a humble background, Vidhi knew that her path would demand sacrifice and hard work. Many nights she studied under dim light, balancing her dreams with responsibilities at home. There were moments of doubt and difficulty, yet she never gave up. Her teachers at Oxford Public School stood by her like guiding lights, encouraging her every step of the way.

When the results were announced, and Vidhi’s name appeared on the Navodaya selection list, tears of joy filled her eyes. It was not just a result — it was the triumph of perseverance, the victory of belief over barriers. Her success brought immense pride to her family, her school, and everyone who witnessed her journey.
