Sangeeta's last year report card shows that she scored a commendable 72%. Sangeetha has two older sisters, but only one of them stays along with her. Her mother, Phumadevi says, "Our family cannot afford to raise three children.
I have left the oldest one with her grandmother. She will be of some help to her and in turn her clothing and food requirements are taken care of." There are neither tears nor harsh words, as the reality that she lives with every single day, ebbs from her mouth.
Showing a packet of green chilies and chilli powder she says, "This is all the nutrition I can afford for my two children. We make spicy rotis because it kills the hunger and we eat less."
Her worry as a mother today is all about meeting the second meal for the family. She then adds, "Sangeetha and her sister get good nutritious food from The Akshaya Patra Foundation at the school which is a great relief for us as parents. She is able to concentrate on her studies because she gets good food."
