This is a must read for all concerned with developments in Bihar.

I quote "I don't eat anything during lunch because I am not eligible
for the mid day meal scheme (the free lunch given to children up to
Class V), so I stay hungry till I get back for dinner."

In case it is misunderstood, the article is not about poverty but the
indomitable human spirit which always strives to improve its lot
against the heaviest odd. The very next line says

"I like the freestyle best but do the breast stroke too and am
learning the butterfly stroke. The three of us want to grow up and be
able to study and swim. We hope we can become very good swimmers one day."

The article also talks about some of the good work being done by Bihar
Education Project of the Govt of Bihar under the scholarly Anjani
Kumar Singh or Anjani Babu, as he is affectionately called.

All in all, a fabulous coverage of a wonderful development. Absolutely
fantastic.
