In a forgotten corner of Karnataka, lies Gund Station—a tiny hamlet of just 20 households, tucked five kilometers deep into the wilderness from Mariyammanahalli, near Hospet town in Vijayanagara district. Known for extreme backwardness and poverty, the village lacks education, basic healthcare and employment. However, on April 8, the village was put on the state map. Thanks to Sanjana Bai (18), daughter of a lorry driver, who secured 99% (597/600) in her second PUC examination, cheering up a sulking town. Sanjana, an Arts stream student, was motivated by one person — her institution’s secretary HM Veerabhadrappa. He had insisted that she reach greater heights in education, crack UPSC, and return to the college as an IAS officer. What motivated her further was the backwardness in her village wherein no individual had reached the qualification of 12th grade.

“I was glued to the TV channels during the results time. Later, I got calls from my lecturers who announced that I had topped the state. My entire family burst into tears. Nobody in the village had reached this level of education. The region is backward with high poverty. My dad as a lorry driver is off to work for 15-20 days in a stretch. He funded my entire education and my goal was to repay him by scoring well in the examination,” said Sanjana who adds, “Due to lack of accessibility to schools, a lot of children will give up on education. But I was persistent to not do the same.”
