MATHEMATICS TODAY
JULY 2002 6

Dungra Ram Chowdhary, son of an uneducated
farmer of Mundawa, a remote village in Jalore
district, Rajasthan, is the topper of IIT-JEE 2002.
This was his second attempt for IIT-JEE.
In an exclusive interview to MTG, Dungra Ram
confided that though hopeful to get through, he
never thought of securing the top position. Though
a Hindi medium student of Govt. Sr. Secondary
School, Jalore, he secured 93 rd position in JEE
screening 2002. He has proved that strong
determination coupled with devotion and hardwork can
bear the fruit.

Born to Shri Ajaram Chowdhary, a farmer by
profession, Dungra Ram and his brother attended
the village school which was only upto 5th class
at that time, Thereafter they did their schooling
till 10th from Menglava and Jeevana village schools,
respectively. For Senior Secondary they had to
go to Jalore, too far from his native village.
Dungra Ram chose Maths as his prime subject
and obtained 100% marks in both Secondary and
Senior Secondary levels. He recollects that, on an
average, he was studying 10 to 12 hours per day.
In IIT entrance as well, Dungra Ram scored 100%
marks in Maths. However, he feels sorry that he
could not attempt one question of 5 marks in
Electrostatics.

Shri Ajaram Chowdhary told MTG that the village
environment is not conducive for proper education.

In comparison to his sons the other children are
not too enthusiastic for studies. Children do not
get much encouragement from their parents either.
In spite of this he is striving hard to get his
brilliant children educated. Though his income
from agriculture is not sufficient to send his sons
to Engineering and Medical College, he is
still hopeful to pursue his desire.

Coming from a remote village, Dungra
Ram was not aware about the various resources
available to help fulfil his ambition. It was through
newspapers, that he came to know about the
coaching institutes and their role in guiding
students for entrance exams. Initially he joined
Career Point, Kota and got selected for R-PET in
2001. After that he joined Bansal Classes, Kota,
for coaching of IIT entrance exam 2002. He
stated that though he was a Hindi medium student,
he did not face any problem in taking lessons in
English at Bansal™s. He emphasizes that if one
does not understand the concept, it is better to
approach the teacher concerned and get the
doubts clarified.

This year Darga Ram, his elder brother, coached
from Allen Institute, Kota, has also been selected
for CPMT 2002. In future Dungra Ram plans on
taking the ICS exams after completing his B.Tech
at IIT.
