In a small village, there lived a boy named Raju. He was very poor, but his eyes were filled with big dreams. His goal was to study hard and lift his family out of poverty.
The Beginning of Struggle
Raju’s father was a farmer, but due to drought and debt, their financial condition was terrible. They didn’t even have enough money to buy books for Raju’s education. However, he was determined. He attended school during the day and worked at people’s houses at night to earn some money for his studies.
Facing Challenges but Never Giving Up
Many villagers mocked him—

But Raju ignored their words and kept working hard. Since he couldn’t afford books, he spent hours in the school library reading whatever he could find.
The Fruit of Hard Work
After years of dedication, Raju topped his board exams. The villagers were shocked! He later earned a scholarship and went on to study at a prestigious university. Eventually, he became a successful engineer. When he returned to his village, the same people who once mocked him were now praising him.
