A poor waiter in Patna has become a celebrity of sorts after his son cracked the IIT entrance exam this year. The overjoyed man gives full credit to I-Desire — a small group of former IITians in Bihar who coach underprivileged kids and provide them study material.
Mani Bhusan Singh and his parents are getting privileged treatment in their neighbourhood after the 18-year-old cleared the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE). I am now one of the most sought after people in my workplace and also my neighbourhood, says a proud Lallan Singh, Mani Bhusans father.
I got to know about I-Desire through a friend. They agreed to help my son prepare for IIT-JEE. It wouldnt have been possible if I-Desire had not helped us by providing coaching, study material and a proper guide, said Lallan Singh, a waiter in Hotel Maurya in Bihar.
