Akshay Hirve, lives in a slum near Sinhagad Road. When he was 12, he lost his father. His mother works as a house help to make ends meet. Akshay, who scored 478 marks, in an interview with the Times of India, said, “My dream is to get admission in BJ Medical College and teach underprivileged students so they have a chance at NEET.”
Another student, Suraj Jadhavar from Alandi, the son of a PMPML driver, wants to give back to the organisation. He is hoping to get through BJMC and at the same time, give other students an opportunity to learn by teaching them.
Pawan Dongare, son of a police constable from Beed, scored 422 marks. “My parents will be happier once I am allotted a college. It was through a newspaper article that I came to know about this coaching class. I will start something similar to help underprivileged students,” he said.
Fighting all odds, Santosh Chate, from drought-prone Beed scored 534 marks. “This was my second attempt. Due to drought, my family was going through a financial crisis so I could not have afforded costly coaching classes. That is when I came in contact with Atul Dakhne who along with his team helped me in every possible way from accommodation to coaching,” he told TOI.
