A cancer survivor who lost his eye at age of 5 cracks IIT

A real inspirational story, pankaj Yadav who lost his one eye 13 years ago because of cancer has successfully cracked IIT JEE examination at age of 18 and got seat in IIT-BHU this year. It’s very difficult for a child who lost his one eye at age of 5, to take such difficult challenge and fight with himself to get it.
The National Society for Childhood Cancer and Cankids. Kidscan have committed to supporting his family to meet his higher education costs of Rs.400,000 over four years and are seeking donors to help him.
He is resident of Haryana whose father is a constable in the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force.
“Even when I started my preparations for the IIT entrance exam, not many of my peers believed that I would crack it,” said the survivor of retinoblastoma eye cancer, who sports a plastic left eye.
Sushila Devi, Pankaj’s mother, is all praise for her son’s courage. “It is a miracle. After his fight against cancer, our middle class family had little hope of his making it big. But Pankaj made it through IIT and MBBS entrance.”
