A Brief Background about Amit

• He is 22 years old from Assam (Digboi).
• He is that little child who lost his mother when he was only 18 months old. Also, that 13 years old boy who saw the painful death of his father only because he could not afford those 700 rupees insulin injections.
• After the 10th, he joined a Printing Press as Part-time work to purchase his accountancy books, medicine, and also to purchase an SMS pack to chat with newly made college friends :)
• During B. Com, he had taken many part-time professions like Waiter, Videographer at Marriages, home tutor, etc.
• Since he was good at academics, got some scholarships and support from his College Professors.

My Steps towards Rashtrapati Bhavan

While returning to home after finishing my regular classes, I saw a medical van standing in front of our College Administrative Building. It was a ‘Blood Donation Camp’ which was organized by NSS Digboi College. After conquering my fear of injection, I donated for 1^st time some drops of life. That immense happiness, self-satisfaction, optimism which I experienced that has become my addiction, my passion.
