“If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can’t hear them anymore” - Hailing from a small town Narayanpur in Nadia district, Merina aspired to become a doctor when she was in 11th standard. With much enthusiasm and sky’s the limit aspiration, she joined a medical institute in order to pursue her doctor dream. But little did she know that she was about to get married soon after completing her higher secondary. With marriage in scene and her starting a new journey, her hopes to become a doctor faded with her dreams.
Though having received support from her husband and her in-laws, Merina continued to pursue her education and completed her Master’s in Physics so that she can appear for School Service Examination, except the opportunities were less at that time. But the desire to serve society had led to a friend who talked her into appearing for WBCS examination. With the same enthusiasm and aspiration, Merina joined RICE Education in the year 2017 and aced the WBCS examination as a Deputy assistant director of consumer affairs and fair business practices in her very first attempt.
Nobody but her husband believed in her and so did she - Kudos our “Bijoyinee” Merina Yasmin.
