Patna’s Rahman Carves Out IAS-IPS Officers For Rs 11 Gurudakshina

Good teachers are the reason why ordinary students dream to do extraordinary things, like how Acharya Chanakya taught an ordinary boy from Bihar and created the great emperor Chandragupta Maurya out of him. Here’s another man from the same land who is carving out civil servants in his Gurukul against gurudakshina of Rs 11, 21 or 51.

Dedicating his life towards teaching, Rahman (49) has founded Adamya Aditi Gurukul in Patna and has given dozens of administrative and police officers to the country. Unlike the institutes that charge lakhs of rupees as fee, Rahman asks for a meagre gurudakshina. Over the years, many students taught in the Gurukul have successfully passed the top competitive examinations of the country and have become doctors, engineers and administrative officers against a gratitude amount.

Armed with triple Master of Arts degrees, Rahman founded Adamya Aditi Gurukul in January 1994 and his students made history in the very first year. That year the state government of Bihar required to appoint 4,000 police inspectors and 1,100 students from the gurukul made the cut and were appointed for the service.

Not just Bihar, but aspirants from Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh come to the gurukul to seek Rahman’s guidance. There is not even one competitive examination in the country where the students of Adamya Aditi Gurukul haven’t left their mark.

Risen From The Dust

Rahman was born into a poverty-stricken family and is filled with strong desire to uplift students who come from a weak financial background. He says poverty is not a state of helplessness instead it is a symbol of success that will be. With dedication, hard work, and passion everything can be achieved, he says.

Are you wondering how Rahman manages his operations on such meager amounts? Well, he has created several success stories in the gurukul and his ex-students donate money boosting the next batches.
