| The Airtel Scholar Hunt Destination UK - a brand new series on NDTV - is turing out to be a big draw amongst the students.
The competition will award scholarships worth Rs 40 lakh to five lucky students from across the country to pursue further studies in the subject of their choice in some of the leading universities in England.
Ayushman Jamwal is an aspirant from Delhi. He likes to read, write poetry and play basketball. He also dreams of changing the world and that is why the Doon School student entered the Airtel Scholar Hunt Destination UK Contest.
''The competition is great because the best from all over the country will compete. I'm very excited about it. I can't explain how I'll feel if I win,'' said Ayushman Jamwal, Contestant, Airtel Scholar Hunt Destination UK.
His parents too have great hope in their son who studied at the Doon School in Dehradun.
''This programme is very apt for someone like him,'' said KGS Jamwal, Ayushman's father. ''It will be a great financial help for us, because education in the UK is very expensive,'' added Poonam Jamwal, Ayushman's mother.
Close competition
Ayushman has some stiff competition in his own city. Prithvi Rohan Kapoor, who passed out of St Columbus School is a science student and wants to switch to Journalism.
To pursue his dreams he decided to enter the Airtel Scholar Hunt Destination UK.
''I want to do Journalism and Media from Cardiff. There aren't too many undergraduate journalism courses in India. It's very difficult to get scholarships to study in the UK,'' said Prithvi Rohan Kapur, Contestant.
Prithvi's parents think he is already a winner given his skills in drama, debate and writing. He is just as eager when it comes to watching movies or hanging out with friends.
''Good education is about overall personality development, not just academics but also curricular activities. I've seen him working very hard. I wish him all the best,'' said Nirupama Kapur, Prithvi's mother.
