“We did not have the privilege to attend schools or have a decent standard of living. But that doesn’t stop our daughter from receiving it.”
11 year old Roshini, had trouble in reading languages and solving math problems. She was usually irregular in attending school, with little or no interest inpursuing education. Her father worked in the brick kiln industry while her mother indulged in labor work. Their scanty income and frequent migration just added to their plight, as Roshini’s parents had to support 3 children.
Roshini’s life took a huge leap after her enrollment in the Muktashala programme. Getting into the Reading Skill Improvement programme (RIP) helped her improve her linguistic skills. The study sessions and library set up at Muktashala helped in inducing a spirit of inquiry within Roshini. She also started participating in various community engagement activities and inter-school competitions, in turn boosting her confidence. She aspires to become a successful pilot and her parents eagerly look forward to it.
