Salute to Suraj Saini for his determination to beat all odds and challenges 🙏🙏

He spent his days painting houses. Every night, he painted a different future for himself.

Growing up in Rajasthan's Bundi district, Suraj Saini balanced studies with whitewashing homes to support his family.

While his mother worked as a farm labourer and his younger sister had to drop out after Class 8 due to financial hardships, Suraj refused to let poverty bury his dream of becoming a doctor.

His turning point came through the Shiksha Sambal programme, which provided him with free coaching, accommodation, and meals in Kota.

With biology as his favourite subject and unwavering determination, Suraj cracked NEET 2026 in his very first attempt, scoring 583 marks and a 99.15 percentile.

Now on course to join a government medical college, Suraj is set to become the first doctor in his family.

Salute to Asha Bansika for her noble work and her selfless service to humanity 🙏

“Women don’t belong at cremation grounds,” they said.
So Asha Bansika walked in and gave 200+ abandoned souls a dignified farewell.

In Rayagada, Odisha, 36-year-old Asha has spent the last three years cremating unclaimed bodies from the district hospital, many abandoned due to poverty or loneliness.

Her reason is deeply personal.
Years ago, her own family struggled to cremate her younger brother because they could not afford it. The pain never left her.

So when she began seeing unclaimed bodies lying in the morgue, she made a promise:
No one should leave this world without dignity.

Despite earning just ₹11,500 a month as a hospital attendant, Asha spends from her own pocket on firewood, flowers, clothes, and other funeral essentials.

Even after exhausting shifts, she continues to perform last rites for strangers society forgot.

In a place where women are often discouraged from entering cremation grounds, Asha is breaking age-old taboos with humanity, courage, and compassion.

It kept biting her face but she chose to keep fighting!

In Odisha’s Mayurbhanj, as over 30 schoolchildren sat outside, a venomous snake crept dangerously close. Before anyone could react, a stray dog named Kali leapt in.

The snake struck her face again and again, injecting venom with every bite, but Kali didn’t retreat. She held her ground, fighting relentlessly until the snake was killed and every single child was out of danger.

By the time silence returned, the poison had already taken over. Kali collapsed giving up her life in the very moment she saved theirs.

The village that once called her a stray carried her as a saviour, bidding farewell with tears, respect, and the weight of a sacrifice they’ll never forget.

She had no name, no home, no reason to stay. Yet when it mattered most, she chose to protect.

Resilience beats every challenge🙏

Savita Pradhan, who grew up in extreme poverty and suffered years of domestic abuse, has become an IAS officer after clearing UPSC in her first attempt. Married at just 16, she faced violence, humiliation and neglect from her husband and in-laws while raising two children.

Savita said she was often beaten in front of her children and treated inhumanely at home. At one point, she even considered ending her life, but later left her abusive marriage and decided to rebuild her future. To support herself and her children, she worked in a salon and gave tuition classes while continuing her studies.

Her hard work finally paid off when she cleared the civil services examination in her very first attempt and became an IAS officer. Today, her story is inspiring thousands of women across the country who are facing violence, poverty and hopelessness.

Salute to her determination and courage 🙏🙏
