Raipur, 24 October 2020. With the cooperation and efforts of the state government, now students from rural areas are also showing their talent. An attempt by Kumari Priya Packra, who belongs to an ordinary farmer family of Surguja district, has paved the way for becoming a doctor in the NEET 2020 examination with the guidance of teachers of residential school Ambikapur and with the help of district administration. Priya Packra has secured first place in Scheduled Tribe category and second in all sections for appearing in NEET examination from Prayas Residential School. Priya Packra has given credit for this success to the guidance of her parents, teachers of Prayas Vidyalaya and the support of the district administration.
Priya Packra, a resident of village Sakalo in Ambikapur development block, has been brilliant since the beginning. Priya Packra told that father Rakesh Packra is a farmer and maintains the family with agriculture and wages and mother Smt. Pramila is a homemaker. Priya is the eldest of three sisters. The younger class is studying in Class 11 Multi Purpose Ambikapur and the youngest sister is in Class 9th. Priya Packra said that after studying in Prayas Residential School Ambikapur, she passed the class 12 examination this year with 89.9 percent and qualified in the medical entrance examination NEET with 316 marks. He said that there was inconvenience in coaching due to the closure of the school due to Corona infection, but the teachers of the effort continued to give guidance through online and also solve the problems.
Collector Shri Sanjeev Kumar Jha had given instructions to give laptops to the officials of tribal department to help in the preparation of NEET, keeping in view Ms. Priya Packra’s ability to be meritorious and become a doctor. A few days later, upon the arrival of Ambikapur in-charge Minister Dr. Shiv Kumar Daharia, a laptop was provided to Priya by her hands.
In today’s tough competition, it has become necessary to resort to expensive coaching for admission in prestigious institutes of medical and engineering. In such a situation, it is difficult to select students from rural areas from low income families in these examinations. But the efforts of the State Government-run residential school free food, study and coaching facilities are fulfilling the dreams of the students of rural areas.
Raipur: The guidance of the effort and the cooperation of the government paved the way for the farmer’s daughter to become a doctor.
