Orphaned tribal from Gajapati secures MBBS seat
Berhampur: A 21-year-old orphaned tribal student from a remote village in Gajapati district's Mohana block has been selected to study MBBS at the govt-run Sri Jagannath Medical College and Hospital, Puri. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Nira Mallick of Dumiguda village in Adava panchayat secured admission in the first round of the ongoing medical college admissions after clearing NEET-2025 in his second attempt. He secured a state rank of 3,856 in the general category and 72 in the scheduled tribe (ST) category. Nira's journey to study medicine in a government college was fraught with challenges. After passing Class X with 88% from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in 2019, he decided not to pursue higher studies as he was suffering from tuberculosis. His mother was also afflicted with paralysis, while his elder brother, Pira (27) had moved to Kerala for employment. His father, Sania Mallick, died in 2014. "As I was the only one to look after my mother, I could not take admission after Class X. In 2021, I took admission in Plus II in Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya, Gundima in Mohana block, after my elder brother returned home," he said. A few days before the annual Plus II examination, his ailing mother died in 2022. He then decided to take up cultivation and help his brother financially without pursuing higher studies. But luck shone upon him when a group of activists from Bipadara Bandhu, an organisation supporting poor students, approached Nira to continue his studies and prepare for competitive examinations. "They also arranged a seat for me at Aryabhatta, a coaching institute in Berhampur to take coaching for NEET free of cost," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We have provided free coaching to him for the last two years after assessing his financial condition and his dedication to study," said Sudhir Rout, director of the organisation. "Due to his determination and hard work, he was able to secure a seat in a government medical college, defying his abject poverty," Rout added. While Bipadara Bandhu facilitated his admission to the medical college, Rout said they liaised with another organisation that provides financial assistance to impoverished medical students to study MBBS. "We thanked both the organisations that shaped my career by standing with me during my difficult times," said Nira, who wants to serve the poor after becoming a doctor.
