Research scholar with 95 % disability gets his Phd

November 19, 2015

New Delhi, Nov 19: A research scholar with 95% disablility , for whom even getting admitted to a school was a challenge, has been awarded doctorate in Computer Science by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in a special ceremony.

Akshansh Gupta, fondly called as Bunty Dada, was awarded Phd for his thesis 'Brain Computer Interface' by VC S K Sopory ahead of the formal convocation ceremony scheduled to be held next year.

Indeed, it's a rare feat achieved by a 32-year-old man who grew up with cerebral palsy.

He is grateful to his mother and his school teacher Meera Sahu for shaping his destiny and rickshaw-puller Mahajan who used to take him to the Umanath Singh Institute of Engineering and Technology in Jaunpur.

Akshansh wishes to start his professional life at JNU if the university is ready to accommodate him.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.
