A talent youngster of the city awaits recognition at a time when IIIT-A is leaving no stones unturned to make the 7th science conclave successful.
In the by-lanes of Kydganj locality of the city resides 14-year-old Dinesh Dwivedi, who has never been to schools but still imparts coaching to students, inspiring to crack IIT, CPMT, AIEEE and other examinations. This wonder kid, who has been awarded Young Achievers Award, easily solves questions of mathematics, physics and chemistry, impart tuitions to aspiring IITians along with those preparing for CPMT, AIEEE or for that matter even those pursuing BSc and MSc.
Hailing from Khiwali Kalan village of Koraon Tehsil, Dinesh imparts free coaching in a small rented room in Kydganj. Although his small classroom has just few takhat (wooden cot) and chairs, but in the last two years Dinesh’s guidance has produced 25 IIT’ians, 15 were selected for CPMT and 32 students have cleared AIEEE. In all, he teaches 280 students in batches daily.
