A family that once depended on a rickshaw puller's earnings is celebrating a milestone that has brought recognition far beyond its home. Aditya, a resident of Ratnauli village in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district, has secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 946 in NEET UG along with a category rank of 295, becoming the first student from his village to qualify in the country's premier medical entrance examination.His achievement has transformed into a moment of collective pride for the village. While his grandfather, Saukhi Sahni, earlier earned a living by pulling a rickshaw, Aditya's father, Harendra Sahni, supports the family through a private job. Aditya completed his matriculation under the Bihar Board from his village and later scored 87 per cent in intermediate from RDS College before clearing NEET UG.A family's journey inspires an entire villageFor the Sahni family, the result represents years of determination and steady effort. Saukhi Sahni said his grandson's success has brought pride not only to the family but to the entire village. He also described Aditya as the North Bihar topper in NEET UG.According to family members, Aditya's success has encouraged other students in the village to pursue higher education and competitive examinations. His father said the family remained confident that consistent hard work would eventually yield results.Muzaffarpur records several notable NEET UG successesAditya's achievement came alongside several strong performances from other students across Muzaffarpur district.Sumit Sarraf from Veerpur in Kanti secured AIR 6013 in his second attempt after combining local studies with online learning and dedicating 10 to 12 hours daily to preparation.Tannu from Dharfari village in Paru scored 587 marks. Her father, Deveshchandra Prajapati, credited her disciplined preparation for the result. Akash Kumar from Chanpakdi in Saraiya secured 608 marks, AIR 7,637 and EWS rank 821 in his third attempt.
