Hansaram, a native of Barmer, Rajasthan could not secure a seat in medical college despite cracking the medical entrance exam in 2020 as he could not afford to pay the fee for private college admission. He had secured 595 marks out of 720 which were not enough to make it through medical colleges. He needed less than 10 more marks to get a seat in the government colleges.
Determined to become a doctor, he tried again. This time with help of a friend. Hansaram got inspired to become a doctor at a young age when his mother passed away due to lack of medical facilities. His 62-year old mother used to work as MNREGA labour while his elder brother is physically handicapped and unemployed.
