Illness did not deter her determination

Puducherry, Mar 22 (UNI) Even her illness did not deter girl Aiswarya's determination to write SSLC examination today.

Much to the agony of her parents, Aishwariya, hailing from Thavalakuppam near here, was down with chicken pox two days back and her parents wondered how she would write her examination.

However, Aishwariya though physically weak, came to Thiruvalluvar Government Girls Higher Secondry School with neem leaves in her hands to ensure her comfort.

The school authorities provided her a separate seat and allowed her to write the examination.

Meanwhile, assisted by a teacher Chitra, Pachayammal a blind girl also wrote her examination at the same centre.

As many as 12,000 students were appearing for the SSLC examination in 32 centres here.
