From Farm of MP to Cancer Lab - A succes story of Navodian Girl.

A Girl from JNV Hoshangabaad Joined the Cancer Lab,Malaysia Here goes the story being published in the Hindu...

Anita Tilwari (32) is in Malaysia, researching on medicinal plants for curing
cancer.
Having overcome two handicaps — of being a Dalit and a woman — she won a
government of India fellowship for research at the Institute for Research in
Molecular Medicine, University Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, north Malaysia.
She also heads a Malaysian delegation to promote awareness about science.
Anita grew up watching her parents till the field and do menial jobs in Alampur,
Harda district in Madhya Pradesh. (Her parents still work as labourers in Bhopal.)
Anita’s elder sister did not go to school and the younger one gave up studies after
class VII. Both were pushed into early marriage. Anita, however, is unmarried.
She did her graduation and post-graduation in biotechnology and microbiology at
Barkatullah University, Bhopal, and later got a doctorate in the same field from the
Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (University of Technology of Madhya
Pradesh, Bhopal).

She got the Young Scientist Award in 2005 (from the state government) for innovation in the field of science.

“She was good in studies and one of her teachers in the village spotted her potential and sent her to a NavodayaVidyalaya. This was the turning point in her life,” said her mother, Shanta Bai (55).

Anita has been able to shape the careers of her two younger brothers. One of them, Tulsi, teaches physics, chemistry and mathematics in a government school in Sagar (north-central Madhya Pradesh) while the other, Valmiki, is in the final
year of electronics and communication engineering at Rewa Engineering College (north-eastern Madhya Pradesh).

Valmiki said: “I aim to become an IAS officer. And I will work hard for it.But all this would not have been possible without the untiring efforts of my elder sister.”

Strong Showing by JNV Dakshana Scholars at IIT-JEE 2010!! 90 Scholars Have Qualified in the IIT-JEE

Dakshana’s Topper, T. Ashok Kumar, Secures an IIT-JEE All-India Rank of 63!

The Dakshana Foundation is pleased to announce that its second batch of JNV Dakshana Scholars came through with flying colors and did exceedingly well in the IIT-JEE 2010.

A total of 293 Dakshana Scholars were prepped for free by Dakshana for two years. Of these 90 qualified in the IIT-JEE merit list. Last year, Dakshana’s first batch of scholars took the IIT-JEE and 75 (out of 350) scholars cracked the IIT-JEE – a success rate of 21%. This year that success rate has increased to 31%.

Dakshana’s topper was T. Ashok Kumar from Ranga Reddy district in Andhra Pradesh. Ashok secured an IIT-JEE All-India rank of 63. Ashok Kumar’s father is a tailor with typical monthly income of under Rs. 3000 ($64). For the first time, Dakshana had three students in the Top 500 IIT-JEE ranks including Rajiv Krishna of Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh with an IIT-JEE All-India Rank of 87.

Less than 3% of the nearly 500,000 students who attempted the IIT-JEE were successful. Dakshana had a hit rate of 31% – with 90 of the 293 scholars being selected. “It is all the more remarkable because we are still very new at all this. I am grateful to the JNV system, Dakshana’s staff, volunteers and IIT-JEE coaching service provider partners for these incredible results. We had many shortcomings and we hope to do even better in the years ahead,” said Mohnish Pabrai, Dakshana’s founder.

Dakshana is a charitable foundation that began operations in India in 2007. The foundation has a strong relationship and Memorandum of Understanding with the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya system (JNVs) whereby Dakshana screens and selects the most promising JNV students for intensive preparation and coaching for the IIT-JEE.

Dakshana was founded (and mostly funded) by Mohnish Pabrai and his spouse, Ms. Harina Kapoor. Dakshana is focused on providing world-class education opportunities for exceptionally gifted children from impoverished rural backgrounds in India. Every Dakshana Scholar who gets a world-class education successfully breaks the shackles of poverty for his entire family – permanently.
