Port Blair, Sept. 15: The eighteen-year-old Techa has cleared her NEET-UG. May not sound astonishing as many students clear it and a few score high to get into their desired stream of studies.
Soon after the news was flashed in the social media, a handful of social workers and scribes had rushed to a small shabby government quarter in Port Blair city where Techa lives with her brother Olake. Techa was felicitated and praised for her hard work and determination. Finally, it was worth an appreciation when the Chief Secretary, Andaman & Nicobar Administration, Shri Keshav Chandra, IAS himself felicitated Techa in his chamber by offering a cheque worth Rs. 10,000/-. All this because, the seventeen-year-old girl belongs to a small community of an aboriginal tribe called the ‘Great Andamanese’ who are considered to be a lost case, because of their dwindling numbers.
