DASHRATH MANJHI "THE MOUNTAIN MAN"

Dashrath Manjhi was born in 1934 into a poor labourer's family in Gahlour village near Gaya in Bihar. Dashrath Manjhi was also known as Mountain Man. Dashrath Manjhi's claim to fame has been the herculean task of single handedly carving a 360-ft long, 25-ft high and 30-ft wide road by cutting a mountain of Gehlour hills[3] with a hammer, chisel and nails working day and night for 22 years from 1960 to 1982.[4] This passage reduced the distance between Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 75�km to just one km, bringing him international acclaim.[5] He died on August 18, 2007 at the age of 80 years. He was given a state burial by the Government of Bihar.
