Only last week a news was posted on this web site of a village in Jharkhand where every girl aspires to play hockey for the country. (The link is http://bharatmahan.in/positive-news/jharkhand-village-every-girl-aspires-play-hockey-india-1020)
Now comes the story of a village in Bihar which has given the country some 300 engineers so far. This is village Patwa Toli on the outskirts of the famous pilgrimage city Gaya.
In 2016, this village of weavers had 11 successful IIT aspirants. In 2015, the number was 12. In the past two and a half decades, Patwa Toli has produced more than 300 engineering graduates. A third of them are IITians. Others have made it to NITs and state engineering colleges.
2016 में पटवा टोली गांव के 11 बच्चों ने आईआईटी के एंट्रेंस एग्जाम को पास किया था। 2015 में इनकी संख्या 12 थी। पटवा टोली से कोई 300 इंजिनियर बन कर निकल चुके हैं जिनमें एक तिहाई इंजिनियर आईआईटी से पढ़ कर निकले हैं, बाकी एनआईटी और राज्य के अन्य इंजिनियरिंग कॉलेजों से पढ़ कर निकले हैं।
May be we have some other specialised villages too elsewhere.
