Harini, who studies on a scholarship
in Grade 7 at Isha Vidhya Dharmapuri,
has trudged a difficult journey this far.
Her father was an alcoholic who
habitually abused his wife and was
diagnosed with brain cancer. He
couldn't be saved despite the family
spending INR 3 lakhS for his treatment.
Her mother now runs a shop and also
does tailoring from home to feed her 5
children but is still unable to meet their
basic needs.
While her siblings study at a government
school, Harini is doing well at Isha Vidhya –
she's diligent and meticulous with her
classwork and homework, and an active
participant in class discussions. She has
won prizes in athletics at the school level.
Harini loves the computer and math
classes and says that she is always
trying to do her best at academics to
make her mother happy and support
her. She wants to become a doctor –
like the doctor next door, and work
to serve poor people in villages.
