Dashrath Manjhi

Dashrath Manjhi was not a daredevil or bodybuilder. He was a laborer in India. Manjhi’s wife lost her life due to lack of medical care since the closest hospital was 70 km away from the village. The man did not want any other person to suffer the similar fate, therefore, he carved a passage way that was 9.1 meters wide, 7.6 meters deep in places and 110 meters long to make a road through the mountain. Manjhi worked each day and night for about 22 years to do this and decreased the distance between the Wazirganj and Atri areas of the Gaya region from 75 km to 1 km.
