n a house in Kanpur, calorie counting has been abandoned for a large box of mithai after Ayush Sharma, 17, discovered that he has been accepted at the world-famous Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology or MIT. A scholarship of a crore is part of the deal and covers his tuition expenses. For his living expenses, Ayush plans to launch a campaign on social media and hopes crowd-sourced funding will come to his rescue.
Ayush’s father is a mechanic. His mother retired as a constable of the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force. The teen wants to someday help in reforming the education system in India. “I am one of the three people selected for MIT from India, so I am very happy,” he said.
His passion for Physics was matched by his aptitude. He was a topper at the Kendriya Vidyalay in Kanpur, and 2 years ago, he joined a coaching centre run by IIT graduates who work with students who can’t afford expensive tuition classes.
“I was introduced to idea of studying abroad at Avanti coaching centre. Mentors helped me in understanding the entire process,” he said. When he graduates, he will be the first member of his family with a college degree. He has a younger brother in Class 10.
In 2014, through the same coaching centre, Ayush travelled for a two-week summer course to Yale. He says one obstacle he had to overcome was speaking English. “It was one thing that no one could have taught me. There were not many people who I could speak with in English, so I would end up talking to myself. Little by little, I improved.”
“God has blessed us that our child will now study abroad,” said his proud mother, Manju Sharma.
Ayush will travel to the US to begin his college life in September.

Myth: Peanuts are nuts.
Peanuts are a food with an identity crisis. While most people think of peanuts as nuts, they are actually legumes. What is a legume? It is a type of plant with seeds that grow inside pods such as peas or beans. Unlike nuts, which are grown on trees, peanuts grow underground. Peanut seeds flower above ground and then migrate underground to reach maturity. They are removed from the ground during harvesting. Peanuts are also called goobers, goober peas, groundnuts, earthnuts, monkey nuts, and grass nuts.
