Kumarasen
I am Kumarasen from Lalapettai in Karur District. My Family belongs to Below Poverty Line category. Due to my family circumstances, I discontinued my school education while studying VII standard. When my mother passed away it led me to total depression. Hence, I was left under the care of my grandmother in Mannachanallur, Tiruchirappalli District.
Got back my education:
My uncle, who came to know about the activities of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Tiruchirappalli, motivated and guided me to continue my education. When I met the Supervisor of SSA, he gave good counseling to me which made me realize the importance of education in my life. With the help of my uncle, I joined SSA’s Residential Special Training Centre in Samayapuram, Mannachanallur. I was trained in that Centre during the academic year 2009-10 and studied VIII standard. Subsequently on 31st March, 2010. I was mainstreamed in Panchayat Union Middle School, Koothur, No.1. Tollgate, Mannachanallur Block. (DISE code: 33150301801). On passing VIII standard, I got admitted in 9th standard in Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Mannachanallur (DISE code: 33150300102).
Came out with flying colors:
I continued my education in the same school with lot of inspiration from my beloved teachers and I completed my secondary education during 2011-12 and higher secondary education in 2013-14. I was scored 360 marks in X standard and 982 marks in higher secondary examinations.
Growth in my life:
I got admission in EVR College for pursuing B.Com. In I & II year degree examinations, I scored an average of 66% marks and now I am trying hard to score more. Then I got admitted to the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Cares Development, Bharathidasan University in Logistic & Supply Chain Management, offered by DDU KAUSHAL and qualified with distinction. I realized that being literate is not just a right, but a gift. I am very grateful to SSA because of the bridge course they provided me to build my ambition.
