Kota (Rajasthan): Sonu Kumar, the 11-year-old boy from Nalanda district in Bihar, who hogged headlines after expressing his grievances to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar last month, has finally been admitted to Allen Career Institute in Rajasthan's Kota.
Sonu said that his wish to achieve a quality education will now be fulfilled. "Besides, my goal of becoming an IAS officer by cracking the Civil Services Exam conducted by the UPSC appears to be heading in the right direction," the young student said.
The gritty boy was successful in putting forward his grievances before the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at a public interaction held at Kalyan Bigha in Nalanda district on May 14. Sonu had then firmly told the CM that he wanted to pursue quality education and urged him to ensure his admission either in Sainik School, Tilaiya, or Simultala Residential School so that he could achieve his dream.
Sonu Kumar was then assured that his wishes will be taken care of. Officials were told to redress the grievances of the student. His interaction with the Bihar Chief Minister became viral. Thereafter, RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav, president of Jan Adhikar Party, Pappu Yadav, and Bollywood star Sonu Sood among others came forward to help Sonu in attaining a quality education.
Among several offers pouring in for Sonu Kumar, his two uncles suggested to him that Allen Coaching Institute at Kota would be the right choice to pursue his goal of becoming an IAS officer. Hence, Sonu was admitted there. In a video message, Sonu said, "I had fifty choices and among them, Allen was the best. My uncle suggested that Allen would be the best offer after which I was admitted to the Kota-based institute."
