Abstract

After 13 years of work, at the age of 27 years, Adarsh (name changed) is pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) programme. A first-generation college student from a village, his family is affected by disabilities and long-term illnesses. Working two shifts, he graduated in Social Work. A stagnation in income made him choose to study further. He enrolled in the MPH programme believing it would equip him with the skills to reconnect with his roots and help him assist others facing challenges in addressing the ‘social determinants of health’, simply put, the economic and social factors that influence the health status of people. The availability of financial assistance played a crucial role in his decision-making process.
