Arun Lalsu Mattami, an 18-year-old from a tribal hamlet in Bhamragad taluka, said that he’d always dreamed of becoming a doctor but that education was not easily accessible where he lived. 

To pursue his studies, he stayed in a hostel from Class 4 onwards in Aheri and Class 12 in Bhamragad. He belongs to the Madia Gond community, which is categorized as a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group, and scored 450 out of 720 on the NEET-2022 exam. Arun’s parents are farmers who take up odd jobs to make ends meet.
