Parents pledge ear rings to educate their son
Rural lad proves himself by becoming a doctor
Kadaba, May 2: His story suits well to the proverb ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’. This is a story about a rural youth who reached his goal to fulfill the dreams of his parents despite facing several hardships throughout his journey to become a doctor.
Dr Avin DP, the eldest son of auto driver Dushyanth and Prema couple of Donimane of Edamangala village in Kadaba taluk, completed his MMBS amidst all difficulties.
For livelihood, his father Dushyanth took up driver profession and travelled across the country including Gujarat, Assam and other states. But believing that education is the only weapon to alleviate poverty, his mother Prema toiled hard to educate her son who did not disappoint his parents dreams.
With an intension of admitting their son to an English medium school like other children, they have pledged their gold ear rings in the bank and got money and admitted Avin to the school. He has studied from first standard to 10th standard at Knanaya Jyothi English Medium school at Kadaba and got 95 percent and secured a seat in Alvas College of Moodabidre. While Avin used to wake up at 4.45 am and involve in studies for more than 12-14 hours a day, his father shifted his profession from auto driver to sand transportation in order to earn more money for his son’s education.
In PUC, hailed from a rural background, Avin got 685 rank in CET in the state and got medical seat in prestigious Government Medical College of Mysuru. After completing his MBBS, he has served as house surgeon for one year and received convocation certificate from NIMHANS director Dr BN Gangadhar on March 22, 2018. He was feeling proud of fulfilling the dream of his parents.
Now once again he is preparing for an entrance exam to get MD seat. Interestingly, emulating his elder brother, his younger brother is also doing his dental course by getting a government seat and in another three years, he would also become a dentist.
“Though there was acute poverty at home, my parents have forgotten their pains to encourage me to complete the medical course. I feel proud for fulfilling the dreams of my parents”.
