Ritik, a determined student at a local government school, had always been curious about the world of technology. Unfortunately, his school didn’t offer any Computer Science curriculum, leaving him with no formal education in the subject. Despite this, Ritik’s passion for learning led him to enroll in the Shree Shakti Consciousness Foundation’s (SSCF) coding program for underprivileged kids.

He started with the basics, learning about computer hardware and software, and gaining proficiency in using tools like Microsoft Office. As his interest grew, so did his skills. Ritik mastered HTML and CSS, which allowed him to build his very first web pages. His hard work and dedication paid off when his team won SSCF’s first-ever coding challenge, where participants were tasked with creating a web page using HTML and CSS.

Ritik’s journey didn’t stop there. He has now started learning JavaScript, bringing more interactive elements to the websites he builds. From having no access to computer science education to winning a coding competition and learning advanced web development, Ritik’s story is a powerful example of how opportunity and support can transform lives.

Through SSCF, Ritik’s passion for coding has found a pathway, and he is now well on his way to building a brighter future in the world of technology.
