Families' pride: 2 tribals clear class 12
The New Indian Express
|May 07, 2024
TWO students in Tiruvannamalai K R Sivaranjani (20), a Malayali tribal girl hailing from Thongumalai, and S Santhosh (17) from the Irular community in Kilpennathur - have cleared their class 12 public examinations against all hurdles set against them.
A biology/maths group student at the Polur Government Higher Secondary School, Sivaranjani managed to score 361 out of 600, while being a daily wage labourer in Kerala during holidays.
She began working alongside her mother when she was 10 years old, in order to support her own self and her three siblings back home. "We take care of gardening work for 350 per day. We send the money to my siblings. Our work used to be round-theclock until recently," Sivaranjani told TNIE.
