'Kaun Banega Crorepati', hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, on January 13. Sharing the hot seat with him will be Manoj Bajpayee, a popular Bollywood actor who also hails from Bihar.


Manoj Kumar is a Class XI student of the fully-free English medium residential school for Musahar children run by Shoshit Seva Sangh (SSS). He appears in a special edition of the reality show. He will donate the prize money to the SSS for the construction of the school's proposed building.

It is learnt that Bachchan was surprised and moved to hear about the plight of Musahar community in Bihar, so named as they traditionally used to catch and eat rats. Both Bachchan and Bajpayee were quite appreciative of the project launched by SSS to provide quality education to the children of Musahar community to empower them to compete with the best.

The SSS was founded by JK Sinha, an IPS officer who retired as special secretary in Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). The organization had acquired two acres of land and plans to construct a building to accommodate 500 Musahar students initially and up to 1,000 by 2020. It will have all the facilities mandated by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), including science and computer laboratories, libraries etc.

"You will be happy to know that Amitabh Bachchan's KBC has done an episode for SSS. A student of our school, Manoj Kumar, shared the hot seat with Manoj Bajpayee. Big B was moved and was highly appreciative of the project. He has blogged about it," Sinha said.

Manoj, 18, incidentally, is a resident of Jamsaut village in Patna district. His father Mahesh Manjhi is a worker
