Rakesh Ranjan Nayak bags 154th rank in IIT-JEE

A navodayan, Rakesh Ranjan Nayak, 18, the son of a poor village shopkeeper, surprised all when his name appeared in the list of successful candidates for this year’s IIT-JEE. While Rakesh ranked 154 in the All-India merit list, he stood 18th in the list of Other Backward Caste (OBC) category students. He also topped the list of 240 successful candidates from Odisha. “I was expecting a place in the top 500 list. But I am surprised to find my name in the 154th rank,” Rakesh told PTI after being felicitated by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here at the state secretariat. Eldest among three children of Raj Kishore Nayak of Saranggada village in riot-hit Kandhamal district, Rakesh had secured 95.8 per cent in 10th standard board examination and 95.2 per cent in Plus-II (Science) examination last year. He was a student of Jawahar Navadoy Vidyalaya (JNV) near his village. “I am indebted to my school which shaped my career. Had I not been in JNV, it was impossible on may part to dream to get opportunity to study in IIT,” Rakesh said. Rakesh said he was interested to get into IIT-Mumbai and study electrical engineering. “I want to do research in electrical engineering in future,” he said. Rakesh’s father Raj Kishore, having a formal education upto 10th standard, was happy with his son’s success while mother Sabitarani visited the temple to thank the village goddess. The entire village is celebrating Rakesh’s success, Sabitarani said. “I am a poor shopkeeper. I do not know much about his education. His uncles got him admitted at a private coaching institute in Bhubaneswar a year ago. I do not know what IIT is,” the father told PTI over phone from his small grocery shop at Saranggada village. Recalling the hardship his family faced, the father said he did not have Rs 35,000 for admission of Rakesh in the coaching institute. “Keeping Rakesh’s interest in education and his marksheet of Plus-II examination in view, they reduced the tuition fee from Rs 60,000 to Rs 35,000. Still the reduced amount was a big amount for me. I borrowed money from others for Rakesh’s admission,” Kishore said. Asked whether the communal riot in Kandhamal in 2008 affected his studies, Rakesh said he was in 10th standard when the violence broke out. “I was in JNV campus. Therefore, the riot had no impact on us. However, the entire atmosphere in Kandhamal remained volatile for a long time,” he said.

CBSE class 10th results declared, JNV on top!

The Class 10 Results 2012 of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) were declared at 7 pm on Thursday.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (Delhi) scored 100% pass percentage, followed by Kendriya Vidyalayas at 99.48%. The pass percentage of girls stood at 98.48% as compared to 97.98%  in case of boys. Courtesy : India Today

Public schools in Delhi region improved their pass percentage to 98.78% from 97.92% in 2011. The pass percentage of government and aided schools remained largely unchanged.

Let us take opportunity to congratulate the JNV family for this success. Well done Navodaya Bravos…!

Chairman: Please come in.

I entered the room. Wished the chairman and other members, specially turning towards the lady member. Chairman asked me to sit.

Chairman(c): What is this G.B. in your name?

Me: I described.

I was comfortable, composed and humble before the panel.

C: your profile is interesting. You studied in Navodaya Vidyalaya, how different they are from other schools?

Me: Sir, they are meant for rural poor where they reserve more than 70% seats for them. In my class we had 27 students, of them 10-12 are doctors now………

C: that’s ok, but how different they are?

Me: sir, they provide quality education and teachers are well qualified and are accessible 24 hours for students. And I am here because of Navodaya Sir.

C: that’s good. So where did you learn most? in the class or outside of it?

Me: Both sir, as they were always available we had opportunity to learn all the time.

C: Why can’t we have such schools everywhere so that people get quality education? what is the constraint?

Me: (I thought for few seconds) Sir, i think it’s funds………

C: no no no…..funds are not a problem. Government has huge money. What else do you think?

Me: sir Karnataka has started Morarji Desai schools in every Block. But they are not as good as Navodaya schools.

C: where do they differ?

Me: Sir, i think it is teachers. We are unable to find qualified teachers for such a large number of schools.

C: ha, ok. So why do you think teachers are unqualified?

Me: it’s poor quality higher education. We are not producing eligible people for the job.

C: no that can not be the reason. May be something else…

Me: Sir, they are not trained properly. I think better training may give better teachers.

C: it’s interesting to note that you studied Genetics. But why did you join Village Panchayat instead of pursuing a career in research?

Me: sir, i like to work in villages (this was a spontaneous answer, I had prepared something else) as I am born and brought up in villages, i like to work there.

C: still, you could have pursued research and do good to village people.

Me: (became blank for a moment) sir, when i wrote Navodaya entrance I could not get proper guidance, i cleared it by studying myself. I want children in villages to get guidance, so I usually convince parents to send their children to good schools and train them for exams.

The chairman asked the member sitting left to me to ask questions.

M1: You have studied genetics. Do you know the most recent species whose genome has been sequenced?

Me: No Sir, sorry I don’t know.

M1: Do you know about human genome project?

Me: explained it well.

M1: You are from Karnataka, what is Bangalore famous for?

Me: sir, IT

M1: name some companies headquartered there?

Me: Infosys, Wipro..

M1: HCL?

Me: no sir, i think it has an office, but it is headquartered somewhere, may be in Tamil Nadu.

M1: recently Azim Premji has opened an University in Bangalore. What’s it about?

Me: Sir, it is to create future leaders for carrying out developmental works and also for creating good teachers for the country.

M1: yes, it’s basically for creating good teachers. Do you know about BPO? what’s it?

Me: sir, business process outsourcing.

M1: what do they do?

Me:Sir, they outsource their business to some other companies to save money and lighten their burden….

M1: what do people do in call centres?

Me: sir, they attend the calls of their clients and resolve their issues on line.

M1: what is ‘operation Lotus’?

Me: (i didn’t want to answer this question) sir………it’s……..horse trading…….(i dragged on..)

M1: (smiling) ok, you don’t want to answer that question….leave it.

He signaled he was done. Second member took over.

M2: your optional is geography. Why is it called arts-science?

Me: Sir Geography is broadly divided into Physical and Human – former is scientific and latter is more humanistic, so geography is called so….

M2: Your optional is Kannada lit., what is Sangam literature?

Me: it’s ancient Tamil literature sir.

M2: what else? it’s period? what was in it?

Me: sorry sir, I don’t know……

Chairman: (he intervened) i think it is not related to Kannada literature, ask him something else..

M2: I think you have read today’s The Hindu editorial…….tell me what is in it?

Me:(I was thinking) sir, about world cup and Japan earthquake

M2: No no there was something else….

C: may be he has not read it…..

M2: (to chairman) sir, there was something related to discovery of some pre-historic tools..

Me: (suddenly i recalled it) yes sir yes sir….it was found in Tamil Nadu……explained it.

Third member(lady) took over.

M3: for how long you are working as Panchayat Development Officer?

Me: Ma’am for the past one year.

M3: do you implement MGNREGA?

Me: Yes Ma’am, we are the implementing agency.

M3: what are the problems you faced during its implementation?

Me: Ma’am, first we don’t have enough manpower to do the paper work, computer work and to oversee the work.

secondly there is a lot of political interference…..especially contractors, who have a nexus with the members whose election they funded…

(Chairman and the member talk between them regarding this)

M3: tell me your most satisfying achievement as PDO?

Me: (was waiting for this opportunity) Ma’am, I distributed the financial benefits going to the doorsteps of the beneficiaries; Converted village street lights from incandescent to CFL s; have opened a blog on Panchayat where all panchayat related documents will be displayed; helped women open accounts in their names under TSC though the scheme didn’t have the provision……….

M3: seems you are concerned with primary education……….what did you do to ensure teachers attended schools?

Me: apart from convincing parents I haven’t done anything ma’am.

M3: you are having some committee for this right?

Me: ( I should have told that, but I had forgotten) Yes ma’am, we have SDMC committee- school development and monitoring committee – it’s its job to oversee the functioning of the schools. (i explained its combination and don’t know why i said – ‘i can’t dictate terms to its members because they are elected and I listen to what they decide in meeting’)

M3: you have mentioned you like ‘walking in the countryside’ – what’s it?

Me: yes ma’am, i like to walk around villages. I like to capture people in my camera as my hobby is photography too.

M3: you don’t like landscape, birds, river…..?

Me: I like them ma’am but people are more interesting.

M3: you also have a blog. how often you blog and what is the most recent event on which you blogged?

Me: Ma’am I blog once in a week or 15 days. My recent post is regarding no-fly zone over Libya (though i had written on something else i couldn’t recall). I explained the post.

The final member took over.

M4: you have done NCC. what are its objectives?

Me: I explained.

M4: there is a perception among some section of people that they are neglected and development has not taken place in their region. Is it a perception or reality?

Me: it’s a reality sir. They are being neglected and development has not reached them. If their region is developed they will forget their religion, caste, class and everything sir. They will care only about their families only. For this purpose only i have chosen J&K, Jharkhand as my 2nd and 3ed preference sir.

(they didn’t seem to notice this point)

Chairman: what is your opinion regarding police reforms? there is lot of complain about them, what should be done to reform our police?

Me: Sir, i think we should amend the colonial act first.

C: (laughing) ok, but what else?

Me: They should be taught humane approach first in their training sir. Even though i haven’t done any wrong i get some sort of fear looking at the policeman. That perception must be removed by making them more humane.

C: then?

Me: I think they need to be better equipped and trained well sir.

C: Ok, then?

Me: Sir, police is a state subject and we need a unified force to eliminate conflict of interest between different agencies. Like NIA, we need a central agency for police………..i think it should be made a central subject….( chairman shocked)

C: cenrtal subject!! it’s a too drastic measure………will states agree for that? what about politicians?

Me: (should have been silent) sir, it’s police and politician nexus that is a big hurdle in development….

C: May be when you become an officer, some years later you can implement it. Let’s see what happens. Anybody wants to ask questions? everyone asked?

C: Ok thank you Vinay. You may go now.

I thanked everyone and came out without making any noise.

(overall I felt it was a good interview. It was more like a casual talk than what I had dreaded.)

No need to be a know-all, says IAS topper

Thanks to the role the Navodaya Vidyalaya, Chennithala, and the teachers there played in forming his character, Mr. Sameeran feels the civil service interview could pass off more as a conversation than a formal meet, with him totally relaxed. Courtesy: The Hindu 

What helps is getting the right idea, right material and making the right choice, all at the right time.

Feet firmly rooted on the ground, Civil Services 66th rank winner G.S. Sameeran believes it isn’t bookish or all-encompassing knowledge that gets one through the tough examination.

What helps is getting the right idea, the right material and making the right choice, all at the right time.

A medical graduate, whose IAS aspirations began long back but took a serious shape only recently, Mr. Sameeran says he began his preparations only after he started practicing at the community health centre at Muthukulam near his home in Kayamkulam.

“Maybe what I saw and experienced during my work had a role in fuelling my ambition to climb the ladder of the system. During my work, I realised health issues were not just health issues,” he says.

Clearing the preliminaries in June 2011 and the mains in November the same year, the graduate from the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College juggled his preparations and work at the same time, and even got married in between.

His wife, Resmi, also a doctor, has been extremely supportive, and so have been his parents T.K. Suresh Kumar, a senior superintendent with the Education Department, and M. Geetha, who is with the KSFE, and brother Adithyan.

INTERVIEW SESSION

Thanks to the role the Navodaya Vidyalaya, Chennithala, and the teachers there played in forming his character, Mr. Sameeran feels the civil service interview could pass off more as a conversation than a formal meet, with him totally relaxed.

The interviewers discussed with him a book he had authored on late cinema maestro Padmarajan, a favourite subject of Mr. Sameeran.

NOT JUST BOOKS

His interests in Malayalam literature, his optional subject along with medical science, too were discussed.

“I could invest only little time in academically preparing for the examination. What helped me more were the experiences I gathered from life, from my travels, from friends. It is important to select your options based on your own tastes and aptitude. Bookish knowledge can be a waste,” he says.

“You have to be open to everything. Mine was a collaborative adventure in that sense,” he smiles. “This is just a beginning, there is going to be a lot of power and lot of responsibility from now on. I hope my clinical skills along with the other experiences my medical education gave me, crisis management for one, will help me in future,” he adds.

More Navodayans cracking IIT!

The various Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayasin the state have helped poor students fulfil their dreams of graduating from premier institutions.

This fact emerged after 24 students of Bhabha Super-35 (which functions on the lines of Bihar’s Super 30) cracked the prestigious Joint Entrance Exam(JEE) out of a batch of 35, most of whom had studied at a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya.

The Novadaya Vidyalayas are government schools providing free education to the students who come from poor-socio economic backgrounds.

Those with a zeal to scale new heights are selected by these schools after a round of entrance test.

After this, according to a set schedule, the students are taught the basics of maths, science and chemistry. This platform helps students crack the JEE. Some students of Bhabha Super-35 shared their strategy for cracking the prestigious entrance exam with TOI.

These students were – Sunil Kumar, Rohit Kumar, Shashank Kumar Maurya and Jetendra Kumar Prabhakar. Besides cracking JEE, these students also had another thing common in them.

They are the alumni of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas.

These students attributed their success to the teachers of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Mahesh Singh Chauhan who selected them in the Super-35 batch from across the state and taught them.

Sunil, who hails from a small village in Balia district, said he has seen days of extreme struggle as the only earning member of his family – Kailash Ram, his father, is a daily wage labourer earning Rs 240 a day.

At a time when it was difficult for Kailash to manage two square meals a day, teaching his son was a pointless issue. But Sunil’s inclination towards study and on knowing that Jawahar Novadaya Vidyalaya does not charge any fee, Kailash agreed to send his son. Today, Sunil has got the all-India rank 870 in the JEE.

Kailash now understands what his son has achieved. He thinks that his days of misfortune will end now.

“All thanks to Navodaya teachers and Mahesh sir of Bhabha Super-35. I could reach here only because of them,” said Sunil.

Similar has been the story of Rohit Kumar and Shashank, natives of Jalaun and Varanasi districts respectively.

Shashank has secured 1,139th in the very first attempt at JEE. He had also secured 89% in Class XII exams this year.

Shashank’s father is a salesman and has a meagre income but he taught his son to the best of his capabilities.

Now, Shashank, having done his parents and city Varanasi proud, wishes to opt for aerospace engineering from IIT-Kanpur.

Jetendra Kumar Prabhkar, a native of a nondescript village of Jalaun, has also been a student of Navodaya Vidyalaya (in Jalaun) and is a lad of a farmer who died when Jetendra was a child.

Jetendra was raised up by his mother and elder brother. He credits his success to the teachers of Navodaya Vidyalaya and Mahesh Singh Chauhan who selected him in the batch of Super 35 and helped him secure 606th rank in the JEE.

Jetendra said that he wants to pursue graduation in mechanical engineering from IIT-Kanpur.
