For Bikash Chandra Murumu, 14, hailing from a tribal family in Mayurbhanj District of Orissa, life has not been easy with he and his family not able to afford even two square meals a day.
But, problems gave not deterred him from his dream to become a rugby player. Now, thanks to the effort of his school KISS, the largest tribal school in Asia, Bikash now is headed for London to represent India at the International School Rugby tournament as the captain of India Under 14 team.
Eleven more tribal children coming from various districts of Orissa are geared up to go along with Murumu as team-mates to play in the international tournament slated for later this month.
The 12 school children belong to the rugby team of Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), a sister concern of KIIT(deemed university) which has been selected to represent India at the international event.
"It is a dream come true for us. Even though my parents don't know anything about London, they are happy that I would travel by plane," says Ganesh Chandra, 13, Murmu's teammate, who just can't stop smiling as he talks about his impending trip.
Achyuta Samanta, Chancellor of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) says, "Twenty children had participated and won the inter-school tournament held at Kolkata last month and 12 out of them were finally selected to play in London."
