This is the second year in a row he decided to take the exam.
Theertha has stopped his studies after class 8.
Her husband Rajendra is a farmer and they have a 4 year old daughter.
His father-in-law remained with them.
“I am always interested in the study, but the poor economic conditions of our family stopped me to pursue further.
But this time, my husband, father-in-law and villagers – all supported when they knew I appeared for the SSLC exam this time,” Theerther said .
“My child was taught all subjects at school and he used to teach me the same thing at home.
I call the material and school records.
My child supports me a lot,” he said.
“The thought of taking the SSLC exam came when I decided to become an Asha worker.
Previously, those who had completed higher basic education were eligible to post, but when the SSLC was made mandatory, I decided to remove the exam.
Even though I tried to clean it last year, I failed.
But this time I succeeded, “Theerther said.
