From a Small Village to one of the State's Topper: Chanchal's 99.83% is a Lesson in Quiet Resolve
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 9: In a small village in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district, 15-year-old Chanchal Mehra has secured 499 out of 500 in the RBSE Class 10 board exams. With 99.83%, she is among some of the highest scorers in the state depicting how determination can define success irrespective of the resources available. A student with few resources from Pandeka village, Chanchal lives there in a joint family with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and siblings all under one roof. Her father, Dharmpal, works nearly 600 kilometers away from home, to support the family. This meant that during her crucial academic year, he was rarely present. Much of the day-to-day support came from her mother and younger brother, while her father tried his best over infrequent phone calls. "There were days with no electricity in the evenings, and without an inverter, I couldn't even charge my mother's phone to watch online classes," Chanchal recalls. "At that point, I honestly thought I might not clear the exam." With patchy electricity, no coaching classes, and limited access to academic tools, Chanchal's preparation was far from structured. She didn't follow a strict timetable. Instead, she studied in short stretches - between rest, helping around the house, and playing with her brother. In October, she began preparing more seriously. But it wasn't until January, just two months before the exams, that her family managed to install an inverter, which made a difference. "Once we had better access to electricity, I started attending PhysicsWallah's online classes on my mother's phone. I'd wake up at 5 am to attend the Maths sessions. They made things easier to understand," she says. "I completed the syllabus chapter-wise and stayed consistent." Chanchal would travel by bus to school every morning, finish homework on campus, and revise in the evenings whenever the power allowed. Her confidence grew gradually. "When I saw the question papers, I felt I could handle them. I didn't think I'd top, but I was sure I'd pass." While her surroundings presented constant challenges, whether it was studying on low battery or dealing with long hours, Chanchal credits her family for creating a space where she felt supported, even without extra resources. "We didn't have much, but I could talk to them about anything," she says. Her father remains one of her strongest cheerleaders. "My dream is that she should become an IAS officer. She is very intelligent and hardworking. I will try my best to support her in whatever she wants to do," he says. Chanchal shares this dream but first she wants to become an engineer. So, next up she's beginning her preparation for JEE. And after that, she says, the civil services. (ADVERTORIAL DISCLAIMER: The above press release has been provided by VMPL.

Move to increase forest cover from 36 to 50% in Prakasam
Ongole: Prakasam district collector A Thameem Ansariya has called upon everyone to focus on increasing greenery to protect the environment during a special awareness programme held at Mini Stadium here on Thursday as part of the 'Vana Mahotsavam' celebration for World Environment Day. The collector, along with the Andhra Pradesh Tourism and Development Corporation chairman Dr Nukasani Balaji and mayor Gangada Sujatha, planted saplings at the Mini Stadium and Kendriya Vidyalaya. Addressing the gathering as the chief guest, the collector explained that this year's World Environment Day celebrations focus on eliminating the use of polluting plastic materials to preserve the environment. She announced that the state government has initiated measures to plant one crore trees across the state in a single day, with Prakasam district preparing an action plan to plant 4.10 lakh trees in one day as part of this massive drive. She revealed ambitious targets for the district, stating that they aim to plant over 35 lakh trees during the current year. This initiative is designed to increase the district's current forest coverage from 36 per cent to 50 per cent within the year through systematic action plans, she informed. Balaji highlighted that human survival depends entirely on environmental protection, drawing historical parallels by noting that Emperor Asoka had recognised this principle centuries ago when he ordered tree plantations on both sides of roads. Sujatha spoke about the special focus being given to increasing greenery within the Ongole Corporation limits and urged everyone to understand the necessity of environmental protection. She called upon citizens to recognise their responsibility in safeguarding the environment. During the programme, the Collector and other dignitaries administered a pledge to participants, committing them to take personal responsibility for environmental conservation. Following the ceremony, saplings were distributed to all attendees to encourage continued participation in the green initiative. The event was attended by several key officials, including DFO (Social Forest) Rajasekhar, Municipal Commissioner Venkateswara Rao, STEP CEO Srimannarayana, and other public representatives and government officials.

At 46, this Kerala homemaker gets a law degree, enrolls as advocate: ‘I realised education gives dignity in society'
When M Ambika enrolled as an advocate with the Bar Council of Kerala on June 1, it was a defining moment in the 46-year-old's life. A mother of two who had failed her Class 10 exam in 1994, this native of Thrissur in Kerala had to fight societal scorn and navigate competing demands of home life and academics to achieve her lifelong dream of securing an LLB degree. 'It was the firm decision to gain education that made me attain this dream. Otherwise, I would have been confined to being a homemaker,' she tells The Indian Express. 'I had realised that education gives dignity to a person in society. My family stood with my decision, although many in society scoffed at attending college at this age. Their ridicule only strengthened my resolve.' Abika's enrolling herself as an advocate marked a new phase of her life: having been married by 18 and a mother of two by the time she was 22 years old, Ambika enrolled herself in the state's continuing education programme and completed Class 10 equivalency in 2009 and Class 12 equivalency in 2018 finally enrolling herself into a five-year LLB course in 2019 at the age of 40. Last year she secured her degree after passing her exam with 60 percent marks. For Ambika, becoming an advocate marks an end of a long journey, where the odds were seemingly stacked against her right from the start: having lost both her parents when she was young – mother when she was age 1 and father at 8 – she was raised by a grandmother who fell ill, forcing her to rely on her older sister, a sweeper with the Indian Railways. 'While a high school student, I was put in a hostel at Ottapalam. I was previously a brilliant student but being an orphan shattered me. Soon, I lost interest in studies and failed the Class 10 exam in 1994,' she says. At age 18, Ambika was married to N V Ayyappan, a native of Mannambetta village in Thrissur who ran a cassette shop and a telephone booth. With him she had two children – a son and a daughter – and was happy. 'But our happy days were short-lived. The daughter, the youngest child, had multiple health issues. She was partially hearing impaired. We went to several hospitals in Kerala and outside for her treatment. Our entire savings was used up in her treatment,' she says. After enrolling their daughter in a special school, Ambika and Ayyappan began working at a firm that made polymarble idols of deities. In 2009, Ambika met literacy promoter Omana Thankappan at a local panchayat reading room in Thrissur. This chance meeting changed her life. Omana says: 'The literacy classes were held at the reading room and I asked her to join the Class 10 equivalency programme. She was reluctant because of her daughter's health issues but I encouraged her to join the programme'. By then, Ambika was eager for more. 'It rekindled my old dream to excel in life. I wanted to study further and my husband kept encouraging me,' she says. But she had to wait until 2017 for the state to start the Class 12 equivalency programme at Mannambetta village. 'While attending Class 12 programme classes, I kept away from work. My husband wanted me to focus on my education although classes were held only Sundays. In 2018, I passed the Class 12 exam with a high score. I wanted to continue my studies and decided to join a five-year LLB course,' she says. After a short entrance coaching programme in Thrissur, Ambika managed to get into the law programme at the Al Ameen Engineering College in Palakkad's Kulappully. 'When I joined the class, I was 40. I sat among students who were my children's age. It was a remarkable experience. The students saw me as an older sister and cleared all my doubts,' she says. Despite this, college was another battle. Not only did she have to complete her chores and undertake an hour-and-a-half's train journey to college each day, she also had her daughter. She also frequently faced the scorn of neighbours, who wondered why she wanted to study 'at this age'. 'At home, I did not have time to study. I could open books only after she fell asleep. So, I studied on the train,' she says. But there were also perks. For one thing, by this time, her son Ananthu – a postgraduate student in English – could help with her academics. 'During his school days, I would have his doubts cleared. But when I was studying law, our roles reversed and he helped me,' she says. For another, her husband continued to support and encourage her to finish her education. 'On many occasions, he became a mother to my daughter. He also took over the running of the family to help me achieve the dream,' she says.
