It's a classic tale of small towns and big dreams -- only this time round, the dream almost came true for Sushila Mishra, a resident of Nadda Village in the Bangah District of Bihar.
She scored 91 per cent in her class XII boards and also cleared the IIT-JEE exam, but Sushila wasn't able to get a seat at IIT because her father couldn't afford to pay Rs 40,000 as admission fee.
"It was my dream to study at IIT. I heard from somewhere that the state government is helping poor students. I was hopeful, but I didn't get any help," says the dejected girl.
Sushila's father approached various banks for a loan, but failed to get any because of his weak financial status.
"My daughter is really bright and with a little help she could have really done well. We went to everyone for help, even the Chief Minister but nobody helped us," says her father, Surinder Mishra.It's a classic tale of small towns and big dreams -- only this time round, the dream almost came true for Sushila Mishra, a resident of Nadda Village in the Bangah District of Bihar.
