Hu While most of us give up on the face of adversities, there are some who take the challenges head on and emerge victorious.
Rajanikant Nayak

Case in point being Rajanikant Nayak, son of a widow daily wage earner, who despite all the obstacles, managed to crack the JEE Advanced. The list of adverse condition that the tribal boy faced is unending, from losing his father at a very young age to having a bed ridden sister. With his mother being the only earning member of the family, it could have been very easy for him to get mowed down by the obstacles and get lost in the crowd of non-descript Denua village under baruan block of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha.
He got an all India ST rank of 245 and is now aiming to join a core stream in any of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Neeraj Kumar Mehra
Another achiever is Neeraj Kumar Mehra from Rajasthan, whose mother is a daily wage earner and earns Rs 150 by toiling in the fields. While she doesn't have a clue that IITs exist, her son is getting ready to take admission in the electrical branch of the coveted IIT Delhi. His father died a long time back.
Due to his poor financial condition, he didn't even have a single mobile phone (something that most of us can't even think of!).
He got an all India SC rank of 1443; he had opted to write his papers in Hindi. Now, he is focusing on improving his English.
So, next time there are problems remember the struggles these boys went through to achieve their dreams and you won't feel like giving up!
