Daily wager’s son Rampal
beats extreme poverty

Rampal,a student of Government Secondary School,Sector 45,overcame economic hardships to score a CGPA of 8. His father Sadhu Ram works as a daily wager while his mother Avtari Devi is a housekeeper. His elder brother is pursuing his BCom degree. Rampal lives with his family in Colony No 5. In his free time he enjoys playing chess and said that he wants to do a diploma in mechanical engineering.

Rampal said he worked very hard for the exams and owed a lot of his success to Theatre Age,an NGO,“I did not take any tuitions and used to come to the NGO directly after school got over to study. The teachers here always encouraged me to study and would help me with any doubts that I had. They also provided books,notebooks and stationary when I did not have the money. I could not have done this well without their help and guidance.”

Summing up the results of Theatre Age this year,its President Zulfikar Khan said,“This is the 12th year of Theatre Age getting 100 per cent result and this year too our students have exceeded expectations and done very well.
