what about them...
"I will now describe my visit to a school for verification where students come from very very poor family and are practically the first generation studying at this level. Most of their parents either work in the fields or actively involved in road-work as they practically have no land of their own. Most of the time they have to accompany their parents to ensure that some food enters their empty stomach"...
( Books had been distributed to selected 6 students of Bhetiachandi High School in response to the above inspection in September 2008 )
BHETIACHANDI, PASCHIM MEDINIPUR
Anjana Dey – 65%
Anjana’s father is a farmer and has limited land. Her elder brother has to stop his studies and now sells vegetables for the survival of the family. Anjana’s father could not provide her with text books and practical note books. Anjana has to actively get involved in family work due to her mothers illness.
Manasi Bhunia - 64% : Manasi’s mother is a widow and whatever land she possesses she gives them to other person for cultivation and in return gets half the yielded crop. That is the only way they can lead their living. As a result Manasi could not buy books and reads by borrowing books from others and by taking books from the library which she gets only for a week. Manashi’s house broke down in this heavy rain and she and her mother have taken shelter in a room of her uncle’s house.
Santu Jana - 62% : Santu’s father is a day-labourer and works hard to maintain his family. He could not provide him books for reading and very hardly manages to give the tuition fees that Santu is taking.
Mokra Hembram - 49% : Mokra’s father occasionally gets work in the khadan and cuts the rocks to shape to be used as building blocks. When I asked Mokra what are your problems he said, “everything is a problem to me. I do not get time to study”… “Why??” … sports. “I have to take the cows to the field and bring them back after returning
from school. And more often I have to accompany my father for work.” Not before a long time, Mokra’s father realized that Mokra should be fed regularly to continue his studies. Previously he could hardly fill up his stomach due to poverty. Mokra has four brothers but all have separated though one have separated himself so that Mokra can study without disturbance. His two sisters are already married. Whatever the disturbances may be, however empty his stomach be, it cannot prevent Mokra to snatch at least two three prizes in the annual sports.
