Premier institute in Ranchi hires scholar whom Calicut University cold-shouldered
A few months ago, R. Ranjith was a name that hardly anyone knew. But this 28-year-old man, belonging to a Scheduled Tribe, has become an overnight sensation. People now look at him with admiration and he inspires many with his story.
It all began with his post in the social media which has gone viral. The picture of his small unplastered house, a tiled roof covered with a tarpaulin to prevent rain water leaking and a message that it was where his journey to becoming an Assistant Professor in the Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi, began was well received by people.
