GUWAHATI: Abandoned by his father and raised by his mother who runs a tea stall, a boy from Patacharkuchi in Assam’s Bajali district seat has secured a seat in undergraduate course at AIIMS, New Delhi, this year by cracking NEET in his first attempt.
Rahul Das, who gave up his job as an engineer to chase his dream to become a doctor, has proved that perseverance pays off. “I owe it to my mother. I can never repay her back for all the sacrifices she has made to raise me and my brother with the earnings from selling tea. Our father left our home and stopped taking care of us 11 years ago,” Rahul said.
