Statement of purpose
Looking back in my life, I always feel a strong connection with engineering. Later during my adolescent years, I found out that I had a strong inner passion for mathematics and physics. I have always been a bright student of my secondary and higher secondary school and got straight 'A' grades representing outstanding. Soon I realized that the field of engineering would be an excellent choice for my future studies. I was among the top ten position holders in my higher secondary board exam in pre-engineering group. As a result, my first choice when I graduated high school was the department of Mechanical engineering.
I have completed four year degree of engineering in Mechanical at NWFP University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar, and graduated in July, 2009. I continued to excel in my university, achieving first division in my bachelor with distinctions in many subjects. My undergraduate education has given me a certain set of skills and strong fundamentals in both mechanical and electrical engineering. As a result, I incorporated a combination of models for understanding into my way of thinking and research.
After my graduation, I joined AKRSP as an internee. AKRSP is a donor-funded rural development NGO working in Northern Pakistan (Northern Areas & Chitral). It is the implementer of renewable energy projects as well as the facilitator of community participation. AKRSP has, since 1991, completed more than 200 micro & mini Hydropower schemes. To date, a total of about 10 Mega watt of installed micro & mini hydro capacity has been implemented by AKRSP in the region. As an internee, I visited the remote areas of Chitral and realized that I have to choose this field as a career because living in 21st century and having huge potentials of renewable energy resources, people in this part of the world are still deprived of the basic needs of life. Among those clean source of energy is one.
