Lagna Overcomes Poverty to Secure MBBS Seat

Lagna Overcomes Poverty to Secure MBBS Seat

Lagna Pradhan is a girl from a very poor family in Odisha, India.

She lost her father when she was just nine years old, and her mother worked hard as a daily wage laborer to support the family.

Lagna's elder sister also helped by giving private tuition.

Despite these struggles, Lagna was very determined to become a doctor.

She got help from a teacher named Sudhir Rout, who gave her free coaching for three years.

Lagna tried the NEET exam twice before finally scoring 525 marks in ReNEET-2026, which qualified her for an MBBS seat in a government medical college.

Sudhir Rout also helped her with the admission fees.

Lagna's story shows how hard work and support from others can help achieve dreams.
