Bihar Board announced the Class 10 exam results on Sunday, March 31, in which 82.91 percent students managed to pass. Of these students, five from Gaya achieved academic success despite suffering from horrific circumstances in their lives.
According to Local18 Bihar, some brokers misled him for more money considering his poor background and sent him to study in bangle factories in Rajasthan and Hyderabad. However, he was rescued in time and managed to score meritorious positions in the matriculation examinations.
Among these students, Mohammad Saddam of Paraiya block has got 356 marks and Ranjit Kumar has got 293 marks out of 500. Shivpujan of Chandauti block got 268 marks while Nitish Kumar got 361 marks. Monu Kumar of Imamganj block area was also successful in securing second division. While these children were working in a bangle factory, they were rescued with the help of an NGO and the police and kept in a juvenile home. Arrangements were made for their education here and everyone was sent to their respective homes in April 2023.
Mohammad Saddam of Pariya block shared information about his struggle. He recalled how his father Mohammed Imtiaz used to sell clothes and how he studied in a government school till class three. He then enrolled in a madrasa and a high school for the 9th grade. Saddam told that during his studies, he had gone to Jaipur with one of his brothers who used to make purses there and he used to stay at home. One day, after a police raid, he was taken to a factory in Bengal, photographed and then taken to a juvenile home.
Saddam recalled that he had pleaded with the police that he was a student and had come to Jaipur to visit, but no one believed him. After being kept in a juvenile home for three months, he was sent home in April last year. Saddam regrets that if he had not spent some time in a juvenile home, he would have scored better marks in the matriculation examination.
