Raighar:Sept 19 [UDN}:Three meritorious students from Raighar block of Nabarangpur district have brought pride to their families and the entire region by qualifying in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) and securing opportunities to pursue MBBS courses at reputed government medical colleges in Odisha.
Coming from the relatively remote and border area of Raighar, Mahendra Gand, Uday Shankar Jani and Padma Gand had nurtured the ambitious dream of becoming doctors. Through determination, consistent hard work and dedication towards their studies, the three students have now turned that dream into reality.
Mahendra Gand, a resident of Sonpur village under Kurabedha Gram Panchayat, has successfully qualified in NEET and secured an opportunity to pursue his MBBS course at Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (VIMSAR), Burla.

Adding another achievement to Raighar’s growing list of academic successes, Padma Gand of Bargaon village has also qualified in NEET and secured the opportunity to pursue MBBS at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack.
The success of the three students has created an atmosphere of celebration among their families and local communities. Their achievements are being seen not merely as individual academic accomplishments but also as a source of hope and inspiration for other students in the region.
Raighar is a border area where students often have to pursue their education amid various challenges. Against this backdrop, the achievements of Mahendra, Uday Shankar and Padma stand as examples of how determination, dedication and sustained hard work can help young people overcome challenges and achieve ambitious goals.
Their success has therefore become a matter of collective pride for Raighar. The three students have demonstrated that students from remote and border regions can also compete successfully in highly competitive national-level examinations such as NEET and move towards professional careers in medicine.
For the families of the three successful students, the achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter. For the wider community, it has provided a powerful message of encouragement to young learners aspiring to pursue higher education and professional careers.
