Ullal, June 12: A hardworking boy from rural background completed his PUC with a good percentage from prestigious PU college of Mangalore. However, his dream of becoming Doctor shattered after realizing that his PU board marks are not the criteria for getting an MBBS seat.

Rahman Salman from Ullal had good CET ranking for Engineering, through which he can get an engineering seat of his choice in the best college of Karnataka. But the young boy avoided all the temptations and held to his dream of becoming a doctor.

Salman's father, who runs a petty shop with meager income and responsibility of upbringing five children, did not stop his son to pursue his dream. He took his son to Minister UT Khader, for the right guidance and support. From there the journey of this boy to realize his dream started. Mr. Khader personally called MD of Shaheen Bangalore and gave the background of this boy to secure a seat for one year Long Term Batch. This year NEET-2018, Rahman Salman achieved 546 marks with 99.334 percentile.

"The Ideal Learning Competitive atmosphere and the faculty at Shaheen Bangalore made it possible to realize my dream of pursuing MBBS course," Rahman Salman said.

He took rigorous one year NEET Long Term coaching at SHAHEEN Bangalore and is poised to get an MBBS seat in Bangalore Medical College in government quota.

"The expert faculty and systematic academics here gives the right platform for students to excel with their hard work," says Mr. Abdul Subhan, Managing director of SHAHEEN GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS.

He also adds "financial status in no away can become a hindrance to realizing dreams" acknowledging Rahman Salman referred by Mr. UT Khader was given the free seat for NEET coaching at Shaheen PU College, which is located on Queens Road in Bengaluru.

To promote many such students, Shaheen PU College, Bengaluru is giving free coaching to financially backward meritorious students who got more than 350 marks in NEET-2018.

The one year NEET Long Term Intensive batch is starting from 22-June.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.

“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.

The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.

Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
