MGNREGA worker’s sons become doctor and engineer
The Story in Brief
Two brothers from Gaya district in Bihar, whose father worked as a daily labourer under MGNREGA and as a porter in a grain market, have secured admissions to top institutions. Sonu Raj scored 636 marks in NEET-2026 and took admission at AIIMS Central Armed Police Forces Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi. His younger brother Monu Raj scored 93 percentile in JEE-Main and got admission in the chemical branch at BIT Mesra.
Both brothers studied together for two years in Kota, Rajasthan, with coaching from Allen. Their father Manoj Kumar sold one of his two plots of land to fund their education. Monu Raj, who scored 96 percent in Class 10 and 84.5 percent in Class 12, continued his studies despite suffering from typhoid and jaundice in Kota, with fever lasting about three months and episodes of abnormally rapid heartbeat. The brothers say they now want to work for their family and society.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Bhaskar.com and TV9 Hindi both report the same human-interest story with near-identical facts and quotes, differing only in minor phrasing and placement of detail. Both outlets lead with the father's economic hardship, frame the brothers' success as a triumph of hard work over poverty, and carry the same quotes from the sons, father and coaching centre founder. Neither outlet adopts a political or critical stance toward government schemes or education policy, the coverage is uniformly neutral and inspirational. The story's concrete detail is that both admissions were secured in the 2026 examination cycle.
