Success Story: You must have heard many times that there is no age limit for education. This very thing has been proved by a 63 year old grandmother from Haryana. Sushila Devi, resident of Mahendragarh district of Haryana and originally from Rewari district, has secured first division in the tenth examination of National Institute of Open Schooling by securing 79.6 percent marks. This achievement is not limited to just passing an examination, but is also the fulfillment of his unfulfilled dream which remained unfulfilled due to circumstances about 45 years ago. Now his next target is to pass 12th examination and contest Sarpanch elections in future.

Had left studies after fifth class

Sushila Devi was very promising in studies since childhood. He topped primary school and also won a scholarship. But due to family reasons and social traditions, his studies stopped after the fifth class. The family did not allow him to send him to another city for further studies, due to which his dream of education remained unfulfilled. In 1981, she got married to Babulal, a farmer from Devnagar village of Mahendragarh district. After marriage, he took up the responsibilities of family and children, but his love for studies never ended. She kept reading newspapers regularly and kept herself connected with new information. This habit kept the desire to learn alive within him.

Son encouraged and got admission in NIOS

A new turn came in Sushila Devi’s life when her son Vishnu talked to her about starting studies again. Initially he was worried that studying at the age of 63 would not be easy and what people would think. However, his son boosted his confidence and got him admitted in NIOS. The family also supported him at every step.
