'Hope Project' By Kerala Police Is Making Dreams Come True

Mridul K, a 16-year-old boy from Poochakkal in Alappuzha in Kerala, was happy when he cleared the SSLC exam this year. It was a tough 1 year as in 2020 he had failed to clear the exam. While his confidence was low, it was the Hope Project by Kerala Police that came to his rescue, as per The New Indian Express.

Experts mentored him and helped him clear it on the second attempt.

¡°I thought I would never clear the SSLC when I failed in my first attempt. The trauma of being seen as a loser was really painful. But now I¡¯m happy and excited. I want to pursue higher studies,¡± he said.

But he is not the only one. The Hope Project has helped out 365 students who cleared the SSLC exam this year after failing in their previous attempts.

¡°Of the 394 students we mentored this year, 365 cleared the SSLC exam. It was a collective effort by a lot of noble-minded people that resulted in the success of so many students. We will continue offering our support to these students for higher studies,¡± said IG P Vijayan, the nodal officer for Hope Project.

¡°We are also planning to offer skill development training to these students so that they can earn while pursuing higher studies,¡± he added.

¡°We are happy to be part of the project. We ensured that the students attended coaching classes regularly,¡± said civil police officer Kannan Kesav of the Mavelikkara police station.

¡°The project is aimed at enabling these children to cross the threshold of Class 10 and open up a brighter world for themselves,¡± he added.

A nice initiative indeed which is giving wings to the dreams of the fallen.
