This resonated with her \u2013 Vaishnavi had also lacked role models who could be approached for guidance. She too had been skeptical about making STEM her future field of study.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was like a very personal problem for me.

Born and raised in Gorakhpur, she had to function within a society that simply wasn\u2019t as open-minded as a metropolitan city. However, after initial hiccups, Vaishnavi was able to establish confidence in her purpose and associate her cause with NGOs and schools that helped her movement grow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSocial media has played a good role in expanding our reach,\u201d she remarks. \u2018The Salubrious Organisation\u2019 has chapters abroad in places like Nigeria, Kenya, USA, Canada, Nepal, UAE, Bangladesh, Philippines,\u00a0 Malaysia and South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Equality is for everyone\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salubrious\u2019 volunteers from different countries identify under-resourced schools in their own localities, organise \u2018STEM for change\u2019 workshops that follow a specially-crafted curriculum and monitor progress. Children are taught the importance of learning science in an application-based manner, to help them understand that STEM is useful to our lives in countless ways.

The youngest of four siblings, she is grateful to her parents who have ensured good education for all their kids even though they didn\u2019t have it themselves.
