There is no dearth of good news to feel positive and spread cheers amid the COVID19 pandemic.<\/strong> While the US is busy securing jobs for Americans and India is teeming with thousands of new positive cases every day, a poor farmer\u2019s son is all set to study at New York\u2019s Cornell University from September 2020. Hailing from a humble and marginal background in a small village of Uttar Pradesh, 18-year-old Anurag Tiwari took the nation aback by securing a 100% scholarship from one of the Ivy League universities in the United States.<\/p>\n A native of UP\u2019s Lakhimpur Kheri, Anurag not only made his dream of studying overseas come true but also scored a whopping 98.2% in the CBSE Class XII exams. He became a blue-eyed boy of not just his village, but the entire country. Since the global health emergency has caused many foreign universities to go online, he is eagerly waiting for virtual classes to be held by New York\u2019s Cornell University.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
