HRD minister proves her generosity and genuine concern towards education and real talent

Dharamraj works for a Surat mill and hardly manages to fend for his family of seven. When sons - Raju, 18, and Brijesh, 19, broke the news of their stellar performance to their dad, he didn't even know why it was such a big deal.

Both his sons have cracked the IIT entrance test — Raju securing rank 167 and Brijesh 410. Dharamraj, a daily-wage earner, desperately needs Rs 1 lakh for their admission fees. But that's an astronomical sum, for he barely makes ends meet.

Dharamraj and his family live in a rundown mud hut with a tarpaulin thatch at Rehua Lalganj village. Dharamraj owns eight goats, one cycle, and a table fan.
They bagged scholarships to prepare for their IIT entrance. But now what? Where to raise the money from? I don't own a single inch of land," lamented Dharamraj. Both boys scored over 95% in their Class X exams, after which they were picked for a scholarship programme.

HRD Minister Mrs. Smriti Irani has assured the IIT 2015 topper that his entire fees of Rs. 1 Lack would be waived off and that the aspirant need not pay for his admission in the premium engineering institute of the country. The minister has assured to see that the topper does not face any hindrance or difficulty on grounds of his destitute and inability to pay the admission fees covers tuition mess and other charges.
