A youth from Madhubani district, Bihar who has done odd jobs like cleaning utensils in hotels and restaurants is on his way to becoming a teacher. Shyam Sahni, resident of Balline village of Benipatti block, has been appointed teacher at a government school through BPSC Bihar Teacher Reinstatement Recruitment. People from his village are elated with the success of Shyam.

Shyam Sahni’s father is an ice cream vendor who sells ice cream, travelling on a bicycle with a kiosk. In his childhood, Shyam also accompanied his father when he went out to sell ice cream. As he grew up, due to the poor financial condition of the family, Shyam also had to work.

However, all he could manage was to secure himself a job washing utensils in hotels. But he stuck to it as he had to make ends meet. But even while working as a dishwasher, he decided to keep studying. Shyam credits his private tutor for his success, saying that it was he who encouraged him to study even while he was working.

Inspired by his teacher’s words who said that he had potential, Shyam started offering tuition classes to children himself, after returning home from his hotel job. This eased some of the financial problems his family was facing. It was during this time that he started preparing for the BPSC Bihar Teacher Reinstatement.

Shyam said that people in the locality did not support him in preparing for the reinstatement exam and used to put pressure on him to stick to odd jobs for a livelihood. But Shyam received support from his parents who advised him to do what he wanted. Soon, his perseverance led him to success and he has now landed a job as a teacher. His parents are proud because this is the first time that someone from the family has become a government school teacher.
