Outreach

Philanthropic Educator

Free & Subsidised STEM Education

Beyond the laboratory — a decade of teaching physics, chemistry and mathematics free of cost to tribal and rural students in Tripura and Odisha, so that a postcode never decides who gets to become an engineer.

What began as evening tuition for a handful of neighbourhood children grew into SM Classes and later SUVTEC Science Academy — classrooms in Agartala and in remote hill villages where students from the Debbarma, Reang and Rava communities prepare for CBSE boards, JEE, NEET and beyond, without paying a rupee in fees.

Alongside teaching, I run book, stationery and study-material drives with the Anex Charitable Trust, reaching residential hostels such as Maa Dhanswari B/G Hostel at Chanmari Khumulwng. Every batch is mentored personally — from the first algebra class to the college admission letter.

The payment arrives differently: a hand-drawn whiteboard on Teachers’ Day, a hand-woven risa, and a first-generation graduate walking into an engineering college.

I build models that predict when machines will fail.
These classrooms make sure no student does.
