Kathmandu: In a heartening story, a boy who supported his education by working as a laborer in Jaljala village of Parbat District has secured the first position in the Class 12 exam in Nepal. The achievement has brought tears of joy to his family, who had been facing financial hardships due to extreme poverty.

Sandeep, the son of Sita Pariyar from Jaljala rural Municipality -4, Parbat, worked as a laborer to contribute to the household income and fund his own education. Overcoming the challenges of poverty that affected his studies, Sandeep achieved an outstanding result of a 3.71 GPA in the Class 12 exam conducted by the National Examination Board.

After Sandeep’s remarkable performance was made public by the National Examination Board’s Examination Control Office, his family, who had been struggling with continuous sorrow, was able to hold back their tears of happiness. Seeing the report that their son had secured the top position in Parbat District with a 3.71 GPA brought immense joy to his family.

Sita Pariyar, Sandeep’s mother, who had been enduring daily hardships and had provided her son with higher education despite her struggles, had tears of happiness streaming down her face upon hearing the news.

Unfortunately, two years ago, her husband had lost his life due to excessive alcohol consumption, which led to deep suffering for the family. Sandeep’s education and the weight of his educational responsibilities became even more challenging after his father’s death, but the news of his son’s achievement has lightened the burdens of sorrow for Sita.

With this success of their son, the family’s hardships have lessened, and they hope to see Sandeep continue to excel and make his name shine even brighter.
