Harshil suffered complete hearing loss three years ago, as an ill effect of typhoid. However, the young champion did not let this put him down. Harshil’s family faces a huge financial crisis. His elder sister, Maitri, told DNA: “After he lost the hearing ability, we faced a lot of financial problems. While the battery of his ear machine costs us about Rs 400 every month, we need to change his machine once a year that costs nearly a lakh. Initially, my father sold gold to buy as he earns only Rs 12000 a month but now we also get some help from our Jain community. Said Harshil, “My nerves had got dried after I was diagnosed with Typhoid. But I focussed on studies and scored well in boards.”
Suhagya Vrutika, Saraswati Vidyamandir, Bapunagar,
91%, 99.93%ile
For Vrutika, scoring well in Class 12 was extremely important as the school has not charged fees. Sharing her story with DNA, she said, “My family has been facing a lot of financial crisis due to which we have not been able to pay the fees. My mother who stitches clothes has a major problem in her eyes. The entire year was difficult for me as I slipped into depression for a couple of months. During class 10, I had got chicken pox on day 1 of the board exam. I also got scared this time. But, I took up meditation which helped me improve my concentration. My school fees has not been paid yet.”
Himanshi Rajput, Takshashila school, Vastral,
85%, 99.29%ile
Because her parents would visit door to door to collect clothes for laundry, Himanshi would be responsible to do the household chores. She said, “My parents struggle a lot entire day. Hence, I take care of the house and finish the work at home so that my mother gets some rest. So I hardly got anytime to study during the day. I would sleep every night till 3.00 am and then wake up and study till early morning. I now want to pursue CA but along with my studies, I will be taking up a job to help my parents.”
Komal Vaghela, Hossanna Mission school, Viratnagar,
90.4%, 99.90%ile
Quite young to understand the situation of the family and what it takes to run a family of five members in today’s time, Komal, along with her studies, also helps her mother stitching readymade tops. She says, “My father polishes diamond, but the pay is not enough. Hence, my mother does tailoring work. After my studies, I help my mother every day with stitching or embroidery work. This is how I used to earn my pocket money.”
