Farmer’s son gets 100% scholarship to Cornell

一印度农民的儿子获得了康奈尔大学全额奖学金

LUCKNOW: Scoring 98.2% in CBSE Class I exams is just another feather in the cap of this son of a marginal farmer from UP’s Lakhimpur Kheri as he already secured a berth in New York’s Cornell University — one of the eight Ivy League Universities in the US — with a 100% scholarship.

勒克瑙：对这位来自北方邦拉金普尔卡赫里一位贫穷农民的儿子来说，在CBSE十二年级考试中取得98.2%的成绩，只不过是又一件值得骄傲的事情，因为他已经获得了纽约康奈尔大学的全额奖学金，康奈尔大学是美国八所常春藤盟校之一。

Anurag Tiwari now is waiting for his online classes at Cornell to start from September 1. Most US universities are currently holding virtual classes due to the health emergency caused in the country by the Covid-19 pandemic.

阿努拉格·蒂瓦里现在正在等待康奈尔大学9月1日开始的线上课程。由于新冠疫情在美国造成了卫生紧急状况，目前大多数美国大学都在线上上课。

To appreciate his feat, one must consider that till four years ago, Anurag’s village didn’t even have electricity. A humanities student, Anurag scored a perfect 100 in economics and history, 99 in political science and 97 in English. He scored lowest in mathematics (95).

直到四年前，阿努拉格所生活的村庄甚至还没有通电。安努拉格是文科生，经济和历史考了满分100分，政治考了99分，英语考了97分，数学成绩最低(95分)。

Anurag will study economics and mathematics at Cornell. “My decision to study humanities was questioned by many who felt it was not suitable for boys,” he told TOI.

阿努拉格将在康奈尔大学主修经济学和数学。他告诉印度时报：“我决定选文科时受到了许多人的质疑，他们觉得男生不适合学文科。”

Son of farmer Kamlapati Tewari and home maker Sangeeta Tewari, Anurag till class V attended a primary school in his village, Sarasan, 60km from Lakhimpur town. It was in class VI that he made the cut by qualifying the entrance test for admissions to VidyaGyan, a rural leadership academy located in Sitapur, which handpicks economically underprivileged meritorious students from rural UP. “The call letter in 2013 changed my life. Motivation to dream big came from my hard working parents. Support came from my three elder sisters who wanted me to get world class education which they couldn’t,” said Anurag.

阿努拉格的父亲是一位农民，目前是家庭主妇。他在村里的小学上到5年级。他所在的村庄Sarasan距离Lakhimpur镇60公里。在6年级，他通过了VidyaGyan的入学考试。VidyaGyan是位于锡塔普尔的一所学院，专门从北方邦农村地区挑选家庭经济条件较差、成绩优异的学生。阿努拉格说：“2013年的那封录取信改变了我的生活。远大梦想的动力来自我勤奋的父母。我的三个姐姐给了我支持，她们想让我接受世界一流的教育，而这是她们却无法接受这种教育。”

Anurag started preparing for SAT when he was in Class — he scored 1370 marks out of 1600. Anurag applied to Cornell as an ‘Early Decision Applicant’ and got the call in December last year. “Throughout the process, my school teachers helped me write the draft essays, preparing the projects. My essays were edited by senior counsellors in Delhi who even helped me choose the colleges,” he said.

阿努拉格在11年级时就开始准备SAT考试——总分1600分，他考了1370分。阿努拉格以“提前决定申请人”的身份申请了康奈尔大学，并在去年12月接到了录取通知。阿努拉格说：“在整个申请过程中，我的学校老师指导我写论文草稿，准备设计。我的论文是由德里的高级辅导员编辑的，他们甚至还帮我选择大学。”

“When I reached my village after class I, everyone looked at me with high regards. People who didn’t know me earlier came to my house just to talk to me. It gives me happiness,” said Anurag, who finds an inspiration in ace cricketer MS Dhoni.

阿努拉格说：“12年级毕业后，我回到村里，大家都用崇敬的目光看着我。为了和我聊聊天，以前不认识我的人也来到我家。这让我觉得很快乐。”阿努拉格说是板球运动员MS Dhoni激励了他。

“I thought of making my son successful, but today he has made me a successful father. He taught me so much in all these years,” Kamlapati said.

阿努拉格的父亲说：“我想让我的儿子成功，但今天他让我成为了一个成功的父亲。这些年来，他教会了我很多。”

The village had no electricity till 4 years ago. Hail 60 years of Congress govt. misrule. Modi govt. electrified all villages giving deserving talent like Mr. Tiwari an actual shot at pursuing their dreams. Go India.

这个村庄直到4年前才通电，向国大党政府60年的暴证“致敬”。莫迪政府让每个村庄都通电了，让像阿努拉格这样的人才有机会追求梦想。加油，印度。

India creats genius upto graduation level, but casteism, nepotism, politics in India allow foreign universities to capture these genius .Even Brahma cannot improve this situation during his life time.

印度培养了很多人才，但印度的种姓制度、裙带关系政治却让外国大学获得了这些天才。即使是梵天在世也改变不了这种情况。

India must have a policy of attracting the best talents like the US, where Quota system does not apply ... if they ever think of stop brain drain ... !! ...

如果向阻止人才流失，印度必须像美国那样制定吸引顶尖人才的政策，美国没有预留制度。

Indian institutes like Delhi School of Economics and other so called prestigious colleges should wake up. They should have some mechanism to spot such exceptional talent and nurture them.

印度德里经济学院和其他所谓的名牌大学应该觉醒了，他们应该制定某种机制来发掘这些杰出人才，然后加以培养。

India should be ashamed of not promoting this kind of talent which other countries are welcoming with open arms. I am one of those individuals who was offered a smililar scholarship and now call US my home.. Never returning back to India.. Like never..

其他国家张开双臂欢迎这些人才，印度应该为没有提拔这些人才而感到羞耻。我也获得了类似奖学金，现在把美国当作我的家，再也不回印度了. .
