Twenty-three-year-old Priti Maithil, the daughter of a daily wage labourer in Sehore in Madhya Pradesh has ranked 92nd in the UPSC examinations and it is no surprise that her family is bursting with pride ..... Priti's father, a daily wage labourer who has no fixed income also has reason to feel proud. "It is commendable how our friend Santosh has been able to teach his daughter despite limited resources. She has made us all proud today," says a family friend.Priti gave tutions to fund her college education when the family barely had enough to live on. "Aaj hamara chayan huya hai tho sara shreya ma baap ko jata hai," says a grateful Priti. (I owe my success to my parents, my teachers and my friends.)
At the end of it all, Priti Maithil is not only her parents' pride but also an inspiration to us all.
