Nikhil, the eldest son of Mahavir and Champa, is 11 years old and currently studying in the 5th standard at Mahatma Gandhi Government School. He lives in Badrawas Basti with his two siblings. We have known Nikhil for the past two years, and he has consistently proven to be a dedicated and disciplined student.
Nikhil is a regular attendee at school, where he remains attentive in class and actively participates in extracurricular activities. At our center, CAC, he has been a consistent and engaged participant, contributing meaningfully during sessions. His proactive approach and eagerness to learn have made him a role model for his peers.
During one of our sessions, Nikhil shared an inspiring story about a family member who chose to pursue higher education rather than engaging in labor. This relative prioritized completing their education and securing a stable job before considering marriage. Nikhil shared how this decision had a positive impact on their life and how it has served as an inspiration for him and his family.
Nikhil’s story highlights the crucial role of education in breaking the cycle of labor and early marriage, particularly in communities where these challenges are common. Inspired by his family member’s journey, Nikhil is motivated to follow a similar path, emphasizing the importance of education and self-reliance.
