 Sabar told PTI, “Recently, while working at the construction site in Bengaluru, I got a call from my teacher who asked me to distribute sweets. I was surprised and asked him about the reason. He smiled and informed me that I had cracked the NEET exams. It was like a dream come true. I could not hold my tears and returned home the next day with due permission of the contractor who engaged me in the work”.

He further said, “I hail from a very poor family of five. As the NEET exam was over, I decided to earn some money to support my family. I contacted a local contractor who sent me to Bengaluru. The savings I made helped me get admission to the medical college”. During his three months of work, the student earned Rs 45,000, saving Rs 25,000 to support his family. 

Meanwhile, his parents, Sahadev and Rangi, are hoping that the government will provide financial aid for his five-year MBBS course. "Since childhood, he has been very hardworking and brilliant. He wanted to become a doctor. His hard work brought him success," said his mother, Rangi.
