“Mujhe iss school main sab kuch aacha lagta hai” – Raju

In his family no one is educated that’s why his parents also couldn’t explain and understand the importance of sending their children to school. Raju never got encouraged to go to school in general or importance of education in particular.

Mujhe padai karna bhut pasand hai per meri maa bolti hai padai kar ke kya karegi kaam toh tujhe kothi main he karna hai
Roshni, both the parents are working. Father works on construction site and mothers works in kothi. She has 3 brothers and she is the only girl child in the family. Her parents due to the financial constraints they have to work throughout the day so they hardly bothered about sending their kids to the school. Her mother was not in favor of sending to school because she thought if roshani will go to school then who will look after her junior ones.
