Beggar Girl Became Doctor
A Beggar Girl Became Doctor who was begging with her parents in Himachal Pradesh has become a doctor today because of a Buddhist monk (Tibetan refugee monk) who came as God in her life. When the girl was 4 years old, a Buddhist monk took her to school.
Now she has completed her MBBS degree and is a doctor.
Pinky Haryana along with her parents used to beg on the streets of Himachal Pradesh. She was scavenging for food in the dustbins of McLeodganj. Her life changed completely when the Buddhist monks mercy fell upon her. She completed her medical degree almost twenty years later.
In 2004, Lobsang Jamyang, a Tibetan refugee monk and director of a Dharamsala-based charitable trust, noticed Haryana begging. A few days later he visited the slum area in Charan Khud and found the girl.
Her parents convinced her to continue her education. Finally, her father Kashmiri Lal agreed to continue his daughter’s education.
She got admission in Dayananda Public School, Dharamsala, Haryana. Ajay Srivastava, president of Umang Foundation, an NGO that has been associated with Jamang for 19 years, said he became one of the first batch of students at the hostel for destitute children set up by the charitable trust in 2004.
In the beginning, Haryana found it difficult to be away from his home and parents. But she paid more attention to studies. She said that she learned that poverty can be eradicated through education.
Haryana, who cleared the National Eligibility and Entrance Test for admission to undergraduate medical courses after passing the senior secondary examination, was admitted to a prestigious medical college in China in 2018 with the help of the United Kingdom’s Tong-Len Charitable Trust. Srivastava said that he recently returned to Dharamshala after completing MBBS.

Srivastava said that after 20 years, Haryana is a qualified doctor who is trying to serve the needy and give them a better life.
Talking to the media about this, Haryana said that poverty was the biggest struggle since childhood. It is painful to see my family suffering. I said that when I joined school, I had ambitions to succeed in life.
Sharing a childhood memory that my background was my biggest motivation, Haryana said, “I always wanted to help my community.” He said that he is preparing for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) to qualify to practice medicine in India.
His brother and sister also enrolled in the school after me. Jamyang had a vision to help the needy and poor children. He was a huge support system for me when I was in school. “His faith in me is a big inspiration for me to perform better,” he said.
Haryana said that others like me have achieved success in life with the support of the trust.
I didn’t know that the kids here are so talented. He is a role model and an inspiration to others, he said. Jamyang believes that children should not be treated as “money-making machines”. Instead, they should be encouraged to be good human beings.
