Hard work always pays off. And when you have the blessings of Maa Ganga in abundance, it is bound to yield fruitful results. This is the story of 17-year-old Vibhu Upadhyay from Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun district, who has cleared the prestigious NEET exam in his very first attempt. Vibhu has been performing Ganga Aarti at the Kacchla Ghat since 2019, and has hardly missed participating in the aarti except when there are exams. He says he intends to continue doing so in the future. With a score of 622 out of 720, Vibhu says he had started preparing for NEET when he was in Class-9 as he always wanted to become a doctor. Wishing him a bright future, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath says Vibhu's achievement is the result of a disciplined and cultured lifestyle. Vibhu’s parents are extremely proud of his accomplishment.
