Diwakar Kothapalli

Diwakar Kothapalli’s father is a farmer, and mother is a homemaker, always encouraging me to dream beyond our fields and home. Their sacrifices inspired me to pursue my studies with determination, even when resources were limited. Now, as a third-year B.Tech student in Electronics and Communication Engineering at J.N.T.U Kakinada, I find motivation not just in my own aspirations but in the hope of setting an example for my younger brother, who has just begun his own engineering journey. Free moments are precious to me; I spend them learning new skills and cherishing time with my family, knowing these bonds are my foundation. When financial worries threatened to distract me from my studies, the NSF scholarship arrived as a lifeline, covering my hostel fees and lifting a weight off my shoulders. With that burden eased, I could focus fully on my education and growth. Looking ahead, I am determined to secure a good job, support my brother as he finds his own path, and become someone he can look up to.
