Sanjit admitted to medical college, finally
The poor boy stops receiving donation after 'getting enough'
Sanjit Roy of Badiar More village in Nilphamari Sadar upazila has finally got admission to Sir Salimullah Medical College in Dhaka after depositing the fees on the last date yesterday, thanks to the benevolent help from a few persons.
A grateful Sanjit, 18, on the other hand, has shown an awfully rare noble gesture, as he kept his mobile switched off on Wednesday and yesterday, giving the message that he would not receive further donation.
Thanking all who extended help, Sanjit’s mother Jashoda Rani said, “We have already got more than enough.”
Seeing the report titled “Will Sanjit be denied medical education for want of money?” in The Daily Star's October 18 issue, Nilphamari DC Khalid Rahim donated Tk 10,000, which would cover the admission fees, the same day.
Engineer Fazlul Huq Khokon, medical technologist Tushar Kanti and bank official Abdullah Al Mahdi gave him Tk 10,000 each while Principal Devi Prasad Roy gave Tk 5,000.
Health Minister Md Nasim said he would bear the expenses for his medical textbooks.
At least 80 other people expressed intention to help Sanjit.
