They realised the education crisis in Jammu and Kashmir and they decided to help aspiring IITians\u00a0 in shaping their careers. Graduates from prestigious <strong>Indian IITs<\/strong> are well positioned for international jobs and lead a life of luxury. But these people chose a different way. Even if the kind of life they are leading won\u2019t bring great wealth, but surely <strong>it would inspire millions<\/strong> and help many students realize their dreams.<\/p>\n<p>In conversation with Imbesat Ahmad:<\/p>\n<h3>1. When did you decide to come up with RiSE?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>RiSE<\/strong> was cofounded by Mubeen, Salman and me in 2012. We realised that students of Kashmir are far from main stream knowledge and idea. <strong>They don\u2019t have access to quality education.<\/strong> That\u2019s how we decided to do something about it.<\/p>\n<h3>2. What inspired you to go on the journey of the noble work you are doing?<\/h3>\n<p>When Mubeen and I did our first batch in 2013, we could <strong>send 6 out of 14 students to NIT<\/strong>. This was a huge success considering the situation in Kashmir. We could see the direct impact of our work. Then last year we could send <strong>4 students to IIT<\/strong>. Basically the success stories of our students inspire us.<\/p>\n<h3>3. How does it exactly work? Do you have other teachers too to take classes?<\/h3>\n<p>We provide classes ourselves and have other teachers also. They are also IIT graduates. We do lots of counselling with other school\u2019s students. In 2015, <strong>we reached to more than 15,000 students of the valley. But our activities got affected because of the turmoil in the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"124442\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/iit-graduates-teaching-kashmiri-students-founders-rise\/imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-shopian-kashmir\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?fit=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1365\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-124442 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"rise\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/19125355\/Imbesat-interacting-with-students-in-Shopian-Kashmir.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4.
