"Margin to Mainstream"
 
Ganga Basant Murmu, Subproject : BAR, CH ID: 337116
 

My name is Ganga Basant Murmu. I am a sponsored child with CHID- 337116. I come from Kitta Kendua village of Godda district. I was born in an ordinary family and my birth was a thing of great joy for the entire family but unfortunately that happiness did not last long. My mother passed away just after six months of my birth. I was an infant and then after my mother's sad demise my aunt and
my elder sister looked after me and raised me. When I was only five years old again a tragedy happened. I lost my father also and it made family's situation worse. Life was hard without parents but my sister took good care of me and did whatever she could do for me in her strength. She faced life's challenges all alone and stood firm with courage in the midst of storms of poverty, loneliness and all the unfavorable circumstances of life.

I got enrolled in St Joseph School Barmasia when I was six years old and shortly after that fortunately I was chosen for the sponsorship program of CFCA Bhagalpur. This proved to be a blessing for me. The sponsorship program of CFCA helped me to continue my schooling without interruption. I was good in academics and I used to get first rank in the class right from beginning. I always aspired to become an engineer and with keeping that in mind I studied diligently and worked hard. I performed well in Secondary School examination and in Intermediate also (pre degree) and it fuelled my preparations for the entrance exam for getting admission in an engineering course. My hard work brought me success and I cracked the entrance exam in my first attempt only. got admission in Birsa Institute of Technology, Dhanbad, Jharkhand, one of the finest institutions of the country and I opted for the Production Engineering stream. Now I have successfully completed three years in this institution and I am hopeful to have a bright future with a successful career. CFCA played a vital role in my long journey from school to an engineering college.

I was an orphan but my loving and generous sponsor never let me feel the lack of my parents in life and fulfilled all my needs. I will always remain grateful to my sponsor and his family for their unconditional love and precious support. The CFCA family gave me courage to dream a beautiful dream and helped me to sharpen my skills and talents to convert that dream into reality. For this I shall be indebted forever.
