Student Snippet

Once, there were two boon companions named Swaraj and Viru. They both lived in Noida, Delhi. Swaraj belonged to a well-to-do family. Whereas, Viru belonged to an indigent family who could hardly make ends meet. Swaraj's father was a rich businessman. While Viru's parents mostly did labour work. Swaraj's lifestyle was incredibly classy, he lived in a huge bungalow, ate all what he wanted, travelled across the world. He had a whole room for his toys. He never needed to request for anything, whatever he wanted would be with him the next moment. Whereas Viru lived in a small apartment. His needs were limited. He never asked for anything. All he had were some books and a pair of clothes. He never complained about his financial status but enjoyed being with his family. He seldom travelled. Swaraj being financially sound, went to a rich and classy, leading private school in Noida. On the other hand, Viru went to a filthy government school. Between private and government schools, private ones have always been superior in our minds and society. Whereas government schools are thought to be made for the poor and so called lower class people. You would be thinking that Viru would not be getting as high education as Swaraj. But this was not the case. Although Viru went to a government school which didn't have any extracurricular activities, but the education they provided was undoubtedly very good. Viru was more intelligent and sincere than Swaraj. They played together in the evening and shared their school experiences. They both were fine in their lifestyle. One day, there was a scholarship test organized in each of the schools present in Noida. The students who shall win this scholarship would get a chance to study in one of India's best schools. Both Viru and Swaraj took part in the test. Swaraj had everything in his life but as Viru had participated in it so he also wanted to give a try. Viru wanted to qualify for this scholarship in order to become a successful person in future which could only be possible if he studied in a better school with all the facilities. As Swaraj's father was a rich businessman, he found out the results of the test before being declared out. When he realized that his son had not qualified for the scholarship and instead Viru had got the scholarship, he got a big shock. He wondered how Viru qualified for the scholarship by studying in a low class government school. Now he wanted to save his image in the society by somehow getting a scholarship for Swaraj. By giving bribe, he exchanged the marks of Swaraj and Viru. When the results came out both the friends were shocked. However Viru was happy for his friend. But Swaraj was confused about the results. One day he heard his father talking about the bribe incident. He was in a dilemma. He was ashamed of his father. After having a discussion with his father, they finally decided to give Viru the scholarship for which he had worked so hard. Viru thanked Swaraj and also appreciated him for showing honesty. Viru happily went to study further in India's best school with all the facilities. Both the friends studied well and became successful businessmen in future.

Moral : We need to erase the incorrect opinions about Private and Government schools. Bribing is a very bad act which can be observed in large parts of India in every possible field - politics, medical, science, education, sports, etc. This should be stopped in order to provide a clean path for new generations to showcase their talents honestly.
