Lekhraj Bheel will soon be the first one to be called an ‘engineer babu’ in his tiny village in the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan.
According to The Times of India, Bheel has obtained a rank of 10740 in JEE-Mains and wishes to study engineering from a National Institute of Technology (NIT).
Bheel’s father Mangilal and mother Sardari Bai, both work as wage laborers in MGNREGA.
In fact, Bheel’s father did not even know what engineering was, till his son cleared it.
In 2017, after scoring the first position in district merit in his 10th Board exams, the teachers in Lekhraj’s government school advised him to take up coaching classes for engineering exams, but the family could not afford it.
