One day, while on his usual trip to a construction site with his stonemason father, admiring the series of skyscrapers around, little boy Atual astonishingly announced , “Father… once grown up I’ll too design such magnificent buildings”. That time his father Ramprakash took this announcement just an another boyish fantasy as he was too poor to dream to make his child a highly educated engineer. But he hadn’t a slight Idea that his son Atual was rock hard from within his heart to become – An Engineer. And today indeed, this boy of a poor stonemason, is pursuing Civil Engineering from a renowned college! Miracle …… isn’tit?? How all this happened? How a boy of very humble background with no facilities scored 98% in mathematics in his class 12th and secured his seat in a prestigious engineering college where even students from privileged class struggle for? Ask all this from Atual and he instantly replies that all he has achieved is just because of Eklavya Shiksha Prakalp- founded and being run by Swaymsevaks of RSS to provide free coaching and funds for study to the students of unprivileged sections.
