Recognising merit: PM announces award for Matric topping Revtash Kumar
Responding to the appeal of Kumar’s father, who said he could not afford further education for his son on the Rs100-Rs150 daily wage, a spokesperson for prime minister said the federal government will bear all expenses of Kumar’s higher education.
The statement termed Kumar’s achievement as an inspiration for the youth since it proved that knowledge is not the exclusive preserve of the privileged.
Kumar’s success story comes just days after that Muhammad Muhsen Ali, a tandoor worker who secured first position in BA examinations by the University of Punjab. Ashraf had announced rupees one million for Muhsen.
