News of students from economically weaker backgrounds making their way to prestigious institutes against odds, are not unknown. These young boys and girls become the pride of their families and their stories are an inspiration to other kids all over the country.One such story is of P Jeevitha. She is the daughter of a tailor in Anakaputhur and she bagged an MBBS seat under the general category in the reputed Madras Medical College, on the second day of counselling itself.
P Jeevitha reportedly said, ¡°I was waiting for this day for long and it is finally here. I am very happy.¡± Jeevitha scored an impressive 605 in NEET examination. But even after she got through and was eligible for admission, the cost of her medical education was way too high for her family to be able to afford. That is when the BJP State president Tamilisai Soundararajan came forward and offered to fund her education.
Jeevitha completed her higher education from Government Higher Secondary School in Anakaputhur and passed her Class XII with 1161 marks. Last year she took coaching for NEET but managed to score only 351 marks.
Determined to make it through with a decent score, Jeevitha worked another year and in her second attempt now, she has managed to get admission in Madras Medical College by scoring 605 marks.
Jeevitha reportedly said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to express my joy. I want to do gynaecology and obstetrics after MBBS, that is my favourite speciality. I¡¯d like to help poor people like me who can¡¯t afford even NEET coaching classes. I will guide them and give whatever help I can, I will definitely do service for the poor after finishing my studies. No other student should go through the difficulties I have gone through in my life. I will study hard.¡±
Her happy mother P Bhavani reportedly said, ¡°After news reports, BJP State president Tamilisai Soundararajan came to our home and helped us financially. Not only Tamilisai, C Sylendra Babu, IPS and many others came forward and financially supported us. With that money, I could even pay Jeevitha¡¯s medical college fees,¡± said Bhavani.¡°Many close to our family said it¡¯s not possible for her to pursue higher education. We have proved them wrong.¡±
We hope that more hard working students like Jeevitha keep getting the financial support they need to keep moving forward. Here is wishing her all the best in her future ventures!
