'Jeet Zindagi' campaign brings hope for poor Odisha students

An organisation here is helping wards of humble vegetable sellers, fishermen and marginal farmers crack the NEET exam to qualify for admission in medical colleges and has launched a campaign to reach out to more such students.

The NGO runs a foundation called 'Zindagi' in Odisha, which is similar to the 'Super 30' experiment of mathematician Anand Kumar, to help students hailing from poor family become medicos.

It has now launched a campaign called 'Jeet Zindagi' (win life) to reach out to more aspiring students.

The organisation head Ajay Bahadur Singh said, "I am committed to inspire many young and bright minds to bring positive changes in their lives," Singh said.

"The campaign has begun from here. I will go to many more places within the state and outside to give a push to talents which fail to blossom for want of resources and proper guidance," he said.

If a student has talent, he or she will definitely find ways, he said adding "We are ready to assist them in their pursuit."
