S. Sivanagari
I am Sivanagari residing in Kesthur village. Kesthur is a very remote village situated in a forest area in Thally block of Krishnagiri district. There is no basic amenity available in the village and we need to walk about three kilometers to reach the school in Manjugondapalli. It made me to remain as a Never Enrolled child up to the age of 10. It was at that time, SSA started a RESIDENTIAL SPECIAL TRAINING CENTER (RSTC) in Kesthur, necessitated by the OOSC survey conducted in 2009. It was a great boon to me and the school age children in my village. The BRTEs identified me and admitted in the RSTC, where I was trained to reach the minimum level of learning. After completing my VIII Std., I was mainstreamed in GHSS ANCHETTY. Due to my family background, once again I became a Drop Out. But, the training I got in RSTC made up my mind to continue my studies and to appear X std. Examination as a private student. I secured 237 marks. After that I joined XI Std. in GHSS Anchetty (DISE No.3331170040) and scored 720 marks in XII std. Then I completed my B.A. English Literature from Government Arts College, Hosur in 2017. Now I am working in a private company in Bangalore and earn Rs.8000/- per month. My ambition is to complete B.Ed. and become a good teacher like the ones who changed my life. I am grateful to SSA – KRISHNAGIRI for making my life prosperous and happy.
