Joy
of Rakesh Shakya has no bounds these days, as his son
Kuldeep Pratap is now a student of one of the
prestigious public school in state, Scindia School,
Gwalior. With the admission of Kuldeep in Scindia
School Shri Shakya's long cherished dream of providing
best education to his children (which he considered
near impossible) has been fulfilled. All expenditure
of Kuldeep's study amounting to Rs. 2.5 lakh would be
borne by the state government.
I
never wanted to repeat the history in my family, says
Shri Rakesh Shakya who is an assistant teacher by
profession and is posted at a primary school of Rayroo
village in Gwalior district. I cleared my Pre-Medical
Test (PMT) but was unlucky to take admission in
medical college due to poor economic condition of the
family. Those bruises are still fresh inside his
heart. Today he is thankful to the state government.
Under the scheme of providing admission to talented
students of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes his
son is admitted in the standard sixth in Scindia
School, Gwalior.
Along
with Kuleep three other students have been admitted in
sixth standard of public school under the government
scheme. Of these, two students Mohit Kumar Mandoliya
and Shekhar Anurag have been given admission in
Scindia School Fort, Gwalior and Neha Shekhar at
Scindia Girls School, Gwalior. "Admission of our
ward in such a prestigious school is not less than a
miracle for us" say parents of these children.
It
may be mentioned that talented students of scheduled
castes and scheduled tribes are given admission in
three prestigious schools of the state namely - Delhi
Public School, Bhopal, Daly College Indore and Scindia
School Gwalior under the scheme conducted by the state
government. Educational expenses of students selected
under the scheme are borne by the government.
