Rising above poverty, isolation, and limited resources, Devdas, Saniya, and Gurudas have cracked
with flying colours— turning an improbable dream of becoming a doctor into reality & inspiring entire region.
Devdas Mangu Wachami from Karmapalli scored an impressive 472 marks, Saniya Tukaram Dhurve from Mallampodur secured 364, and Gurudas Gisu Michha from Dubbaguda achieved 348 marks in the results declared on June 14.
Hailing from backward & conflict-affected Madia tribal belt, these students have battled economic hardships and limited access to educational facilities to pursue their dream of becoming doctors. Devdas and Gurudas' families mainly depend upon gathering forest produce. Saniya's father works as a truck driver at the Surjagad iron ore project.
Saniya and Gurudas studied at Tribal Development Department-run model schools — Global English Medium School, Allapalli, & Dnyandeep High School, Sironcha. Devdas has done his primary schooling from ZP school, Mallampodur & high school from RDB School, Bhamragad.
They received NEET coaching through Ulgulan, an initiative in Dharashiv aimed at supporting tribal youth with aspirations in medicine.

School Cafe project gains ground in schools in Kerala's Kannur with low-cost meals and study support
The Kudumbashree-run Scoofe (School Cafe) project, which serves affordable meals and offers study support to school students is gaining rapid popularity across Kannur district of Kerala. Following the success of the first Scoofe at Kannadiparmba Government Higher Secondary School, the initiative is being expanded to all schools in Kannur. Launched by the Kudumbashree District Mission and the District Panchayat, Scoofes provide meals, snacks, beverages, books and study materials within the school premises. The initiative, which began with 25 schools in 2022-23 using ₹36.5 lakh, expanded to 30 more schools in 2023-24 with an allocation of ₹40 lakh. For the years 2024-25 and 2025-26, ₹20 lakh and ₹10 lakh respectively have been earmaked for further expansion. Currently, 62 schools host Scoofes, including Aralam High school, under the Tribal Special project. Operating from 9.30 a.m to 5p.m, Scoofes serve lunch dishes such meals biryani, kuzhimanthi and chapathi and snacks such as tea, coffee and lime juice during breaks. The initiative aims to keep students within campus grounds, thereby minimising their exposure to external influences, including the drug mafia. Each Scoofe is managed by two women's neighbourhood groups, providing both employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Their ability to offer hygienic and tasty food at low cost has drawn not just students and teachers, but also locals. Encouraged by the district's success, the Kudumbashree State Mission is now planning to scale up the project across Kerala under the banner 'Ma Care'.
