Dashrath Manjhi (c. 1934 – 17 August 2007), also known as “Mountain Man”, was a poor man who worked as a labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, he was the man who carved a path through a huge mountain using only a hammer and chisel as his tools. He carved the path in the Gehlour hills only because his village did not have easy access to medical attention.
He came up with this idea after his wife Falguni Devi died from lack of medical care in 1959. The nearest town which could offer a good doctor and required medical attention was 70 kms away travelling around the hills. But, after 22 years of work, patience and perseverance, this one man army, Dashrath shortened the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55 km to 15 km.

Let’s inspire ourselves to do the impossible and read some facts about the Mountain Man:
The villagers from Manjhi’s village had to travel 70 kilometres to reach to the nearest town to get medical attention.
In the year 1959, Dashrath Manjhi’s wife Falguni Devi died from lack of medical care.
In the memory of his wife, he took up a challenge and started carving the path in the Gehlour hills so that his village could have a better and easy access to medical facilities being offered in a nearby village.
He worked day and night for 22 years and broke down the hill.
The path is 360 foot long and 25 foot deep.
He shortened the distance from 70 kilometres to just one kilometre.
He worked from 1960 to 1982.
For his achievement, Manjhi became popularly known as the ‘Mountain Man’.
He died on August 17, 2007 at the age of 73, while suffering from gall bladder cancer.
To honour his achievements, a hospital in his name is also proposed for serving the villagers.
He was called the poor man’s Shah Jahan by filmmaker Ketan Mehta who has also made a documentary on his life.
His name was also proposed by the Bihar government for the Padma Shri award in 2006.
When a movie on his life titled ‘Manjhi’ was announced to be made by a Bollywood producer-director duo, Manjhi was on his deathbed. He just put his thumb impression on an agreement and gave away the “exclusive rights” to make a film on and around his life.
The mountain man was given due respect and a state funeral by the Government of Bihar.
