### Pani Puri Vendor's Son Cracks JEE, Felicitated by MP Dr. Rawat at His Father's Stall

Udaipur. Proving that dedication and hard work can overcome any obstacle, Manan Sahu of Udaipur has secured an All India Rank of 9878 in the OBC category of JEE Advanced. What makes his achievement even more remarkable is his humble background—his father runs a roadside pani puri stall near Bansi Pan in the city.

In a heartwarming gesture, Udaipur MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat personally visited the very stall where Manan learned life’s early lessons through his father's hard work, and felicitated the young achiever and his father Kundan Lal Sahu. He honoured them with a Mewari pagdi and uparna, extending his best wishes for Manan’s bright future.

Dr. Rawat assured Manan of complete support in his educational journey and said that financial hurdles should never come in the way of deserving talent. During their conversation, Manan shared that he had scored 95% in his Class 12 exams. His ambition to become an engineer began in Class 11, and despite financial constraints, his father encouraged him wholeheartedly, asking him to focus solely on his studies.

Manan's father recalled that while pursuing his studies, Manan often helped him at the stall and had even served pani puri to many customers himself. Yet, his dedication to academics remained unwavering.

Now, with a goal of pursuing B.Tech from NIT, Manan is on track to fulfill his family’s dreams. His journey stands as an inspiration for many, proving that one's background does not determine their future—determination does.
