Dashrath Manjhi (14 January – 17 August ), also known as Mountain Man, was an Indian laborer from Gehlaur village, near Gaya in the eastern state of Bihar.
When his wife died in after being injured from falling from a mountain and due to the same mountain blocking easy access to a nearby hospital in time, he decided to carve a metre-long (&#;ft), metre-wide (30&#;ft), and metre-deep (25&#;ft) path through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel.
After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganjblocks of Gaya district from 55&#;km (34&#;mi)
