Telangana Schoolboy Delivers Newspapers & Wins Hearts By Saying There's Nothing Wrong With Studying & Working
School going boy from Telangana delivers a newspaper and says how there is nothing wrong with working while studying in school.
In countries like the US, teenagers and kids earn their pocket money by doing part-time jobs like babysitting. But somehow in our country, working alongside studying is looked down upon.
However, a school going boy in Telangana is earning praises after a video of him distributing newspapers went viral. The video, shared by KT Rama Rao, a Minister in the Telangana government, shows the young student from Jagtial Town distributing newspapers on his bicycle.
In the short video, the boy, identified as Jai Prakash, was seen with a basket full of newspapers when a man stopped to talk to him. When asked why he was delivering newspapers at this age, the boy was heard responding, ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± in Telegu.
He further says that there was nothing wrong with working hard now as it will help him in future. Rao said he ¡°loved his confidence, composure and clarity of thought & expression.¡±
Loved this video from Jagtial Town

Very nice, India needs boys like him with positive spirit and diligent. Unlike today's common boys, instead of gaming on mobile, he is working part time and studying as well. Then there won't be Employment problem in India. I liked the boy.

But appreciation is okay . some scholarship should be started equivalent to his earning. This is not a right age for a child to work and earn even if he is willing. Kindly look into. https://t.co/xRpDDEHjQO
