Student,
Class 5
Vakavaripalem Village,
Prakasam District
Andhra Pradesh
I come from a family of agricultural
labourers. To make ends meet, I often had to
work in the fields along with my parents and
could not attend school regularly. I was
unable to keep up in class and did poorly in
my exams, so I didn't feel like studying. Then
the teachers at our village ITC
Supplementary Learning Centre persuaded
my parents to send me to evening coaching
classes at the Centre. Today I study in Class 5
at the Mandal Parishad Upper Primary
School. My average marks in all subjects has
gone up to 80% from 40%. I am happy that
my parents let me study and I want to
complete my education. When I grow up, I
want to become a teacher and take care of
my parents.

School going becomes an
empowering process for the child
and the community. The awareness
of entitlements like education and
health grows, along with a sense of
the community’s responsibility.
