From the Land of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, Ekhlaq Gets Top Rank in GATE

Pathardih (Mohan Bazar, Dhanbad District) , JHARKHAND :

Ekhlaq Sarwer with his parents

Patna: 

On March 19, Ekhlaq Sarwer, a B.Tech. (Mining) student, received his Eid gift a little earlier this year. He secured an impressive All India Rank of 4 in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2025.

GATE is widely regarded as the key to securing admission to postgraduate courses in India’s top engineering colleges and opens doors to jobs in Navratna Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

Ekhlaq’s score in GATE was 904 out of 1000, with a remarkable mark of 69 out of 100.

Hailing from Pathardih, the semi-urban town of Mohan Bazar (around 16 kilometers from Dhanbad), in Dhanbad district, Ekhlaq is presently pursuing his B.Tech. from BIT, Sindri (Jharkhand) in the Mining Engineering branch in 2021-25 batch. His hometown, which has gained notoriety for its association with violence, served as the backdrop for the Bollywood movie ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ that highlighted the region’s troubled history.

Ekhlaq’s father, Eqbal Sarwer, works as an informal medical practitioner (RMP), and his mother, Khurshida Parween, is a homemaker.

Speaking to TwoCircles.net, Eqbal expressed immense joy and gratitude. Noting the timing of his son’s achievement during the holy month of Ramadan, he said, “I feel elated as a father when I recall my childhood, which lacked proper resources. My father passed away early, and we had to struggle. But I ensured that my sons received a proper education. Although it was beyond my means to afford an English-medium CBSE school, I made sure Ekhlaq was enrolled there, cutting down on other expenses to make it happen.”

He continued, “Ekhlaq has always been good at studies, and we encouraged him every step of the way. He has consistently ranked at the top since grade 7. He secured 97% marks in 10th grade and 95% in 12th grade board exams under the CBSE system.”

The Sarwer family celebrated their son’s success by distributing sweets, with plans for a grand celebration after the fasting month of Ramadan ends, marking a “double Eid”.

Ekhlaq’s father proudly said, “We are thrilled that a place once infamous for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ is now in the news for such achievements. The area is improving, and it fills me with pride.”

Ekhlaq Sarwer

BIT Sindri, where Ekhlaq is currently studying, is an engineering college under the Jharkhand government. Admission to the prestigious institution is based on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), which also opens doors to top institutions like the IITs.

Ekhlaq had scored around 90 percentiles in his first attempt at JEE Main, securing his place at BIT Sindri. Initially uncertain about his choice of Mining Engineering, he now expresses a deep fascination for the field.

Despite being busy with his academic projects, Ekhlaq shared his preparation strategy for GATE. He began preparing for the examination in September 2024, all while also preparing for his final B.Tech. exams.

“My parents were my inspiration for GATE. My professors at college were immensely helpful, and my friends always encouraged me. I used PYQs (Previous Years’ Questions) and relied on textbooks. I also took test series to keep myself on track,” he shared, expressing his hope to join a PSU of his choice when the opportunity arises.

Ekhlaq also emphasised the importance of having a structured routine. “I made a schedule for my preparation, designating specific hours for watching preparatory videos and solving test papers,” he explained.

He added that focus and time management are essential for anyone hoping to clear GATE. “One needs to be clear about what he/she wants to study. Time management is crucial, as is practice,” he advises. “Shedding nervousness is also important.”

The BIT Sindri community celebrated Ekhlaq’s success. Dr. Pankaj Pal, the director of the institution, and Dr. PK Singh, head of the Mining Engineering Department, along with other faculty members, congratulated Ekhlaq and the other students for their academic achievements. “Ekhlaq has made the institution proud with such a stellar rank,” they said, underscoring the significance of his success.

Ekhlaq Sarwer’s journey from a troubled region to an outstanding academic achievement is not only reflective of his dedication but also to the unwavering support of his family and the transformative power of education.

AMU Researchers Granted Patent for Novel Brain Cancer Therapeutic Compound

Aligarh, UTTAR PRADESH :

Dr. Mehdi Hayat Shahi with research team comprising Dr. Musheer Ahmad, Arif Ali, Ms. Basree at Brain Research Centre

Aligarh:

In a ground-breaking achievement, the Interdisciplinary Brain Research Centre (IBRC), Faculty of Medicine, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), has been granted an Indian patent for a novel compound named ARSH-Q. The compound is the result of rigorous research and extensive screening conducted by the Centre in collaboration with the Department of Applied Chemistry.

ARSH-Q has shown exceptional potential in inhibiting brain cancer cells by targeting stem cells, which are major contributors to resistance against radiation and chemotherapy. Given the high recurrence and mortality rates associated with brain cancer, this discovery brings significant hope for more effective treatment options.

Led by Dr. Mehdi Hayat Shahi, the research team, including Dr. Musheer Ahmad, Arif Ali, Mr. Mohd. Muzzammil, Ms. Basree, and Mr. Swalih P., developed ARSH-Q after screening numerous synthesised compounds. Dr. Shahi, whose research on brain tumours has been ongoing since 2005, focused extensively on the Sonic Hedgehog cell signalling pathway – a critical factor in stem cell-mediated brain cancer and other malignancies.

The team’s objective was to develop a compound that surpasses the efficacy of Temozolomide, the current standard chemotherapy drug. After extensive efforts, they successfully synthesised ARSH-Q, which has demonstrated exceptional results in suppressing brain cancer cells in initial studies.

Dr. Shahi and his team are now set to advance their research through pre-clinical studies to validate the efficacy of ARSH-Q. The goal is to develop the compound as either a standalone therapeutic agent or an adjuvant to existing chemotherapy treatments for brain cancer.

The team expressed gratitude to the Vice-Chancellor of AMU, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, the Convenor of the IPR Cell, and the Coordinator of IBRC for supporting the patent filing process and facilitating this significant research endeavour.

ISRO scientist Sabir Alam of Chandrayan-3 fame feels he has miles to go

Chhogra Village (Kathihar District), BIHAR :

Sabir Alam with his wife

It is the story of a young boy who once wanted to take his parents to the moon. However, for Sabir Alam, the journey from a small village in Bihar to the one in which he was associated with ISRO’s Chandrayan Mission 3, Moon was a destiny chiselled with grit.

Sabir Ali’s story began in the Chhoghra village in Katihar district, 350 km from Patna, Bihar. Son of a primary school teacher from Seemanchal – one of India’s most underdeveloped regions – this young boy turned his limitations into challenges and life happened to him.

Sabir’s father, Harun Rashid, knew the value of a good education but often wondered how to make his son rise in life with his meagre earnings. “With my limited earnings and the struggle to secure quality education for him, it was a challenging journey,” Harun says.

Sabir Alam having chai

Sabir joined his father’s school, where learning was born from passion rather than resources.

When Sabir cracked the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) entrance exam, it was a monumental moment. JNV was a lifeline, offering free education to talented students from rural areas.

He joined the JNV in Kolasi, Katihar, and after his 10th-grade exams in 2012, he shifted to JNV, Puducherry.

Sabir also enrolled in a coaching program run by Avanti, an NGO in collaboration with Tata Motors, to prepare students for competitive exams like IIT–JEE, the gateway to some of India’s most prestigious engineering institutions.

He graduated with a B.Tech in aerospace engineering from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) in 2018 and then joined the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

Then came the day that would forever etch Sabir’s name in history. On August 23, 2023, when India made its historic landing on the moon’s South Pole as part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, Sabir stood among the brightest minds who made it possible.

The moment was both joyous and emotional for his family.

“It was like Eid for us,” says Harun Rashid. “People gathered at our house to congratulate us and shower blessings. It felt natural as a young man from a region often associated with poverty and underdevelopment contributed to the country’s successful lunar mission,” he says with palpable pride and happiness.

Son of the soil : Sabir Alam in his field in the village

Though his mother, a homemaker, may not fully grasp the enormity of the achievement, she stood in quiet pride, holding back her tears. “As a mother, I cannot put my emotions into words. All I know is that my son has made not just Seemanchal but the entire country proud,” she says, her voice trembling with love and joy.

For the family, Sabir’s rise was not about wealth. “There was no financial investment in his schooling,” his mother said.

Sabir’s education was sustained by the values of hard work, sacrifice, and scholarships. The JNV provided the crucial foundation, and scholarships allowed Sabir to scale the mountain that seemed insurmountable to so many.

Did Sabir’s mother ever imagine he would join ISRO or contribute to such a prestigious national mission? I asked her. “I always knew he would succeed,” she said. “He often joked during his visits home that he would take us to the moon one day.”

Mumtaz Naiyer, a scientist based in the United Kingdom, shares a unique bond with Sabir. Hailing from the same region, he always acknowledged Sabir’s abilities. “Sabir has always been extraordinary. He stands out from other youth in Seemanchal because of his approach, temperament, and determination to learn and succeed. Thanks to Sabir, we, the Surjapuri-speaking (local dialect of the region) people, Seemanchalis and Biharis, are now part of history,” Naiyer says.

“This will certainly inspire the youth of this underdeveloped region to dream big,” Naiyer adds. “I also want to thank Sabir’s parents, as their son has brought immense pride to Seemanchal.”

Yet, despite all his achievements, Sabir has never seen himself as someone extraordinary. In a post on Facebook’s page ‘Humans of Seemanchal’ he wrote, “Honestly, I do not feel that I have achieved anything extraordinary or made any significant breakthrough in my field. I do not need to talk much about Seemanchal – its literacy rate already tells its story. I was just fortunate to find a way around the high cost of education.”

For Sabir, it was never about the prestige of joining ISRO. It is simply a milestone. “There are numerous challenges for those from backward areas, but with dedication, hard work, willpower, and, most importantly, awareness, you can overcome them,” he advises.

INDIA :

Rahmani30 proudly announces a significant milestone in its mission to empower the community through commerce education, as 44 of its students have successfully entered CA, CS, and CMA articleship programs.

This achievement marks a new chapter in the organization’s efforts to foster excellence in financial management, corporate governance, and ethical professionalism.

This result is not just a milestone but a reflection of five years of relentless hard work, immense sacrifice, and sincere ibadat by the students. It stands as a pure blessing from the Almighty, reinforcing the belief that with dedication, perseverance, and divine guidance, success is inevitable.

Rahmani30’s Contribution to Commerce Education

Since its inception, Rahmani30 has been a pioneering force in expanding access to commerce education. Traditionally, career paths in CA, CS, and CMA have remained underexplored within the community due to a lack of awareness and mentorship. By nurturing talent and providing structured guidance, Rahmani30 has bridged this gap, ensuring that students not only pursue these prestigious qualifications but also excel in them. This initiative continues to drive economic empowerment and self-reliance through professional excellence in finance, law, and business.

The results speak for themselves, year after year. In this year’s Class 12 Commerce ICAI Olympiad, an impressive 77% of all successful minority students across India are from Rahmani30. Moreover, while the national CA Foundation pass rate stands at approximately 16%, Rahmani30 maintains an exceptional 64%+ success rate. Similarly, the CS success rate reaches an outstanding 93%. Notably, in CA Intermediate, Rahmani30 students achieve an overall pass percentage of 65%, far surpassing the national average of just 15%.

These sustained achievements reaffirm Rahmani30’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence and career advancement, ensuring that the next generation of commerce professionals continues to thrive.

By inspiring students to enter CA, CS, and CMA, Rahmani30 is not just shaping careers but also revitalizing the prophetic tradition of ethical trade, financial transparency, and economic stability. These professions play a crucial role in ensuring integrity, fairness, and accountability in business and financial management—aligning perfectly with Islamic values.

A Call from Hazrat Maulana Ahmad Wali Faisal Rahmani Sb for Continued Support & Expansion

This milestone is a testament to the generous support and encouragement of well-wishers, mentors, and institutions who believed in this vision.

As Rahmani30 expands its impact, sustained backing is essential to provide scholarships, mentorship, and institutional partnerships that empower the next generation.

Qazigund woman Ishrat Nisar tops SSB exam for ‘Supervisor Post’

Y K Pora, Qazigund (Anantnag District) Kashmir , JAMMU & KASHMIR :

Qazigund :

A woman from Qazigund of Anantnag district has topped the Service Selection Board (SSB) examination for the post of Supervisor in the Social Welfare Department.


Barely three kilometers from Qazigund, a native of Y K Pora, Ishrat Nisar (28) expressed contentment as her relentless perseverance bore fruit, securing her the top rank and realizing the objective she had diligently pursued.


The SSB held the Supervisor exam on June 23, 2024, and 201 posts in the Social Welfare Department are to be filled, with Ishrat securing the top position.


She completed her master’s degree from Kashmir University after graduating from Anantnag College. Later, she was selected as a vocational trainer and had been working at a higher secondary school since 2020.


“Well, I think it’s a source of happiness to see oneself at the top of the SSB list. We have thousands of graduates every year competing, and the SSB is one of the few opportunities for employment, so yes, it’s an honor to top the list,” she said.


She said that many people apply for SSB recruitment every year, and everyone works hard to cross the selection threshold and secure their desired job. “I believe the SSB is one of the main platforms where students appear for exams, and hard work is crucial. Whoever works hard, I think, will make it to the list,” Ishrat said, adding that she used to study in the evenings.


Ishrat credited her success to her parents and siblings. “My siblings are my support system. They’ve been like guardians and teachers, contributing significantly to my success.”


“I managed my time well. I was probably the only staff member at school who didn’t participate in optional events or celebrations. I gave maximum time to my studies. I bought study material from Delhi, including Topper’s Notes, and studied a little online. I had been preparing for this exam for many years. The forms were issued in 2018, and since then, I stayed somewhat connected to it. The exam didn’t happen at that time, but today, my hard work has paid off,” SSB topper said.

Two Indian doctoral researchers, Camellia Biswas and Ajmal S. Rasaq, have been awarded the prestigious EARTH scholarships funded by British Council Scotland and delivered by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities. It supports early-career researchers from around the world studying environment and sustainability through the Arts, Science, and the Humanities.

Biswas, who is in the Humanities department of IIT-Gandhinagar, specialises in ecological anthropology, human-animal studies, disaster studies and participatory research methodologies. Her Ph.D thesis focuses on mapping the dynamics of human and non-human interactions in the Indian Sundarbans, under the larger discourse of the climate disaster. In 2022, she was named British Council’s Women Leadership Fellow.

Rasaq, who secured the first rank in B.A. Political Science from St. Thomas College in Palai, Kerala, and pursued M.A. and M.Phil. degrees in Political Science at the University of Hyderabad and Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, switched over to climate change studies in his Ph.D course in IIT-Guwahati.

Since April, they have been undertaking in-person and hybrid exchanges in Scotland, which would go on until June in environmental arts and humanities. During her scholarship period, Biswas will collaborate with University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) in Inverness, while Rasaw is affiliated with the University of Glasgow’s Human Geography department. They shared their experiences over an e-mail interaction. Edited excerpts:

 What inspired you to take up your field/subject of study?

Camellia Biswas (CB): I am deeply intrigued by the ever-changing realm of interactions between multiple species in the context of climate change. In this project, my focus lies on the study of zooarchaeology entwined with cultural and political ecology. I will be utilising a deep-time perspective to explore the implications of climate change. Specifically, I am examining the ecological-cultural evolution of human-seal relationships in the Northern Scottish Islands, from past to present, to comprehend climate emergency and conservation action.

Ajmal S. Rasaq (ASR): My Ph.D. project looks into how the changing weather conditions, particularly unseasonal precipitation and cyclones, impact the socio-economic relations in Chellanam, a coastal suburb of Kochi in Kerala. Though my academic background is in Political Science, I shifted to human geography in my Ph.D. programme after seeing significant weather events in recent times, such as the devastating floods of 2018 and the Ockhi and Tauktae cyclones (in Kerala). Over time, I came to recognise the profound impact of climate, which I had until then seen only as a background for agricultural and fisheries production.

 How can the EARTH scholarship help you to enhance your understanding of your subject?

CB: The programme will enrich my understanding of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) education in Scotland, and I hope to bring some of these learnings to apply in India. I’ve realised that topics across Humanities have implications for my own work. Scotland is very rich in visual narratives such as storytelling, folktales and myths embedded in historical records. Therefore, this will be very useful for my research. During my time here, I’m learning that topics across Science and Humanities are all connected. Scholars can help each other through different expertise and subjects.

ASR: I had already spent over a year collecting data through ethnographic fieldwork before joining this programme in April. This is an opportunity to connect with leading professors and other fellow scholars for three months. The training programme offered during the initial two weeks of the scholarship helped me to look deeper into the data. My mentor, Dr. David Featherstone at Glasgow University, has also been helping me in enriching my understanding in my area of research.

 Any advice for students who may wish to apply for such programmes?

CB: Students who are interested in these scholarships must stay alert and proactive by subscribing to notification pages and newsletters. Also, customise your applications to align with the specific requirements and goals of the scholarship(s).

ASR: Start early and allow sufficient time for the application process. Begin by identifying a potential supervisor who aligns with your area of research. In the proposed application, it is vital to emphasise the anticipated impact of the research. Applicants must highlight how their work can help in fostering cross-national collaborations in future.
