  • An underdog with harsh beginning:

Sujeet was born in Pureni village of Madhepura District in Bihar. It is at the bank of river Kosi, the infamous river called ‘Bane of Bihar’. There was no employment there and people were depended on farming, that too at the mercy of violent river of Kosi. If it rained the crops were good but flood ruined it. His father used to live on farming if it is not ruined by river or drought. He did not have his own land neither he was educated for the job. The family of four kids was dependent of farming or else his father has to do hard labor nearby towns.

  • Mother’s advice and naive Sujeet:

With time kids grew and Sujeet was now old enough to go to school. His father busy in daily hard work didn’t have time to think about kids’ study. But her mother Meera Devi wanted to make their kids educated. She was uneducated but always encouraged kids about study. And mother’s words clicked young Sujeet and he started going to school in the village. He reached to class fourth. But the condition of school was so bad he had no one to answer his queries and he saw kids of his age and working so he started losing interest in studies.

  • Meeting harsh truth called life:

Sujeet thought of leaving school and do the work as other kids were doing but her mother stopped him from doing it. During that time his grandfather got ill and due to lack of money they couldn’t treat him. His father tried to called money from borrowing but could not mange and hid grandfather died. Now Sujeet was broken and he decided to drop out of school.

  • An elderly advice:

Hearing this; an elderly man in village asked him not to do so and offered help if he needed. Her mother also pushed him for study. And once again he started studying.

  • A dream and failure:

He thought of going to Navodaya School as the fee was less and study was good there. But he failed in entrance. Well to do kids from his village mocked him on his failure and dream. But he did not give up and kept studying the same school. He reached to class tenth but that year Kosi river flooded and ruined entire village.

  • The dilemma and a choice:

Poor kids came to him and asked to join them in work out of village in cities and other states. But his mother did not let him go. And by now he also understood that working is not the solution, only study can get them out of abject poverty.

  • The challenge and the fight:

His house was made of weed thatch and wood and used to drip in the rain. This did not deter him and he started studying harder day and night. Seeing his dedication his father also started working in the night too to collect more money for his study. But it was not enough. He didn’t even have money to by a tenth board form for the exam. So he started tutoring kids from in and around the village. And when the time came he had enough money to fill the form.

  • First taste of winning and a dream:

He passed the board exams will flying colors. He scored best in math’s and science so he decided to become an engineer. But he has to go to a city for that and need more money which he did not have. He took his saving of 500 Rs and packed his bags to go to Patna.

  • And he found a path:

In Patna he went door to door tutoring kids and collected money for books and stationary and started preparing for entrance. During those days he heard of Super 30, and came to me. Hearing his heart-wrenching story and dedicate I asked him to join in. And here he toiled for day and night. He would hardly sleep in the night. If I asked, he would say my father would be doing hard labor this time so should I. He earned goodwill among other students too. He used to help them in studies.

  • And the dream came true:

Finally he gave IIT entrance with confidence and was sure of passing it. And his hard work paid off, he got selected for IIT BHU in last June.

His mother doesn’t know what IIT is. But she thinks now the days of destitution are fading away and one day it will be all over. His father still works that hard, he knows that he can’t be dependent on Kosi River for farming. And he believes river Kosi cannot wash away their survival and dreams with its wicked tides anymore.
