From Livestock to ISRO: The Journey of Tapeshwar
Tapeshwar Kumar, a 21-year-old from Bargahi village in Bihar’s Bhojpur district, has been selected for ISRO after working in a cow and buffalo stable. His selection as a Technical Assistant in ISRO has brought pride to his family and the entire village. Despite facing financial constraints and struggles, Tapeshwar’s dedication to his studies has paid off.
A Challenging Journey
Tapeshwar hails from Bargahi village in Bhojpur district, where his father is a small farmer and his mother is a homemaker. He is the only son of his parents, as his elder sister is already married. His uncle narrates how Tapeshwar has always been diligent in his studies since the beginning. Recognizing his talent, his uncle sent him to Patna for further education, even though they faced financial difficulties initially. Despite all the obstacles, Tapeshwar’s education was prioritized, and today he has achieved this milestone.
Passion for Space Research
Tapeshwar passed his matriculation exams in 2018 and started preparing for a career in space research. He enrolled in the Government Polytechnic College in Patna and completed his diploma in Mechanical Engineering from 2018 to 2021. During his 10th grade, one of his teachers showed him some videos about the Apollo mission on a mobile phone, which sparked his interest in space science. He then made up his mind to pursue studies in space science.
After completing his diploma in 2021, Tapeshwar engaged in self-study in Patna and prepared for his ISRO selection through YouTube. His hard work paid off when he was selected by the Indian Space Research Organization. In January, he will contribute to the organization in Sriharikota, Tamil Nadu, which has brought immense joy to his family and the people of his village. This success has also brought a wave of happiness to the villagers.
