Summer continued its inhospitable run. Rain god, who had smiled early last month is playing hide and seek. Meteorological observatories have predicted normal monsoon. Hope Varuna (the rain god in the Hindu pantheon) shall not disappoint us.
In our reach out initiatives, we had radically departed to be more involved in a local school. A school, where students are from the labour class parents with no support at home to pursue studies. The school never had the joy of 100% pass in its SSLC or 10th std, state level public examination. We took up the cause of getting all 33 children in the class to clear the final exams. For two months of Feb & March, all toiled, including teachers and children, Saturdays and Sundays. The result has been extremely heart warming. Students en masse had hit the bulls eye. They pulled off a near impossible 100%. Yes for the first time, Govt. Composite High School, Angaragundi scored a TON. For us at I & C it was a mission fulfilled, a vision it wants to continue in coming years. Hope the students are inspired to keep the 100% result going for good. They have understood their potential.
Month-in-Perspective has tried to relook at some of the events of the past month, within the space available.
1st May being MAY DAY, the focus on labour had to be there. International Labour Day came and gone. But the lot of labour class the world over, especially in India, had brought issues involving working class into sharp focus. Hence we have taken it up for the seriousness of the issue. Hope our readers will find it interesting. Kindly revert with your inputs.
