Progyan Das, a BTech student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), has been awarded the prestigious Cargill Global Scholarship for the year 2021-22. Only ten undergraduate students from all over India get a chance to be part of the Cargill Global Scholars Program every year, which is a distinctive, two-year leadership development program that provides financial support and one-on-one mentoring to students for leadership development.
As part of the program, Progyan will receive a significant scholarship award for two years and will get to attend leadership development conferences/seminars, networking events, case study presentations, and one-on-one mentoring programmes organised by Cargill in India and abroad.
I feel delighted to be one of the Cargill Global Scholars for this year. Seeing my photograph in the email document next to the photographs of my co-awardees from across the country, who have also done some incredibly amazing things, was an intensely humbling experience. But perhaps the greatest outcome from becoming a Cargill Scholar is their invaluable mentorship programme, and that is something I am greatly looking forward to.
