Trust FECT to give wings to a hundred dreams

DREAMS do come true when you have the endurance to pursue them.

- BINITA JAISWAL, Srestha Choudhury

G Rajkumar was the creme de la creme among thousands of medical students, who scored a perfect 200/200 cut off in his medical exam in 2014. Son of a farm labourer in Virudhunagar, Rajkumar received thousands of promises from people when he ensured a medical seat at the prestigious Madras Medical College. But soon his journey came to a halt when they turned their back towards Rajkumar leaving him alone to find a way out to pay his college fee. Finally, he found light at the end of the tunnel when he came across a group of Samaritans over the internet who could sponsor his education through Friends Educational and Charitable Trust (FECT).

Rajkumar, who is currently pursuing his MD in paediatrics from government medical college, Vellore, says, "I contacted Dinesh anna, the founding members of the Trust and he happily agreed to help me. He along with his friends took care of my entire MBBS course fees and hostel fees. It is because of their grace and support that I am standing on this pedestal."
