Nitashree’s father runs a small tea shop in her village who also works as a daily laborer whenever he finds time to do so. Both engagements of her father fetch him a paltry sum of Rs.3000 every month. Mother is a volunteer in Anganwadi. Scoring 575 marks (71.8%) in her Madhyamik Examination from Krishnachandrapur High School, South 24-Parganas, Nitashree found herself in a fix as to how to continue her studies in the next higher class to fulfill her dream to become a teacher. With IVEST’s modest support, she is now somewhat confident to achieve her goal. Her marks subjectwise are: Bengali-81, English-73, Mathematics-90, Physical Science-90, Life Science-95, History-80 and Geography-66.
