He currently lives in Jaipur and stays in a rented accommodation. In a conversation with Anirudh he says,

“Everyone in my college does not get campus placement and I was afraid whether I will get one or not. But with the grace of God and hard work, I was campus placed from my college. SOS Bhimtal always motivated me and praised me for my efforts and that is the reason of such good results. I hope that I do better in future and promise to always strive hard towards success”, says Anirudh.

Ms. Tulsi Parihar, SOS mother of Anirudh Parihar has always been very supportive of all his plans and initiatives. In a conversation with Ms. Parihar, she told us how proud she feels to be his mother. She adds,

“The festival of light ‘Diwali’ brought more color and light last year in my life after getting a beautiful gift (Saari) by my working child Anirudh. I am very happy to be his mother and for good long lasting bonding with him. He made me and everyone very proud for getting campus placement immediately after B. Tech. My blessings are always with him.”
