The children of Prayas Residential School and Yuva Career Nirman Yojna who have successfully cracked Pre Medical Test (PMT) paid a courtesy call to Chief Minister Raman Singh at his official residence here on Wednesday.

Chief Minister congratulated the students on their success and said that it was the result of their hard work. “Now the path of development is open for you and you will have to keep on moving ahead. You will have to work hard and clear the MBBS exams and then will have to achieve specialization in various medical streams,” he said. 

According to the Chief Minister, these children are from Bastar region and other rural parts of Chhattisgarh, who after becoming doctors would return to their home and serve the people. Notably, Prayas Residential School and Yuva Career Nirman Yojna is being run by State Tribal Development Department and in all, 13 students from both schemes have cracked PMT.     The occasion was marked with presence of Chhattisgarh Tribal Welfare and Scheduled Caste Development Minister Kedar Kashyap, Commissioner Rajesh Sukumar Toppo and others.
