In a country like India, it is very difficult for the people without facilities to achieve something great in life. Despite of the all the difficulties that had come in the way, a son of a farmer in Rajasthan have cracked the National Eligibility cum Enterance Test (NEET). Chob Singh, son of a small farmer, from a village in Rajasthan’s Dholpur district has overcome all hurdles.
Singh had the least resources for his education and studies. He studied under lanterns for the most part of his life and his efforts finally turned fruitful when he fetched an All India Rank of 330 in Other Backward Caste (OBC) category and 1,413 AIR in general category.
Chob Sing hails from a small village named Basiyalalu which is approximately 15 km away from the district Dholpur in Rajasthan.
His father, Ramsahay Singh has fought with many difficulties and so has the son. His father has only three hectors of agricultural land which is too less for survival in today’s times and thus he also works as a construction worker in the village. It is hard for him to support his family of five which includes two sons, a daughter and wife.
“I myself worked in the agricultural fields while studying in a village school to help my father,” the 20-year-old bright student said.
Ramsahay said, “I faced difficulty in arranging for money for my children’s education but eventually god has blessed us.”
“I had to borrow over Rs 3 lakh for the education of my youngest child,” 44-year-old Ramsahay, who earns around Rs 8000-9000 a month, said.
Money was not the only problem that Singh had to face. “I studied under the light of gas-run lanterns in the night in my two-room house till Class 10 as we did not have an electricity connection,” he said.
But as they say, who can stop a person with determination. When he found there were not enough facilities in his own village, he later joined a private school in Dholpur city. There he gained 73% in his 10th standard, and 78% in his 12th standard.
“A school teacher from a nearby village advised my family to send me to Kota for coaching of medical entrance examination as a boy from the neighbouring village had also cracked a medical entrance examination in the past after coaching from Kota,” he said.
To continue his passion and to take it ahead, he joined Allen Career Institute of Kota in 2013-14 for coaching of medical entrance examinations.
“Although, I got selected in AIPMT last year but got a poor All India Rank of 6,400 and could not get admission in any medical college. I worked hard again and this year got a good rank,” he said.
Naveen Maheshwari, director of Allen Career Institute, said, “We provided Singh with a scholarship as we knew he was a deserving candidate.”
Singh is hoping to get a seat in Sawai Man Singh Medical College or any other good college in the state.
