Finance not a constraint

Shyam Ratan is very happy. He's been able to turn his mother's dream into reality. He has just cracked the IIT entrance exams. Shyam Ratan is the son of a private nurse. Like Shyam, Mani has also cracked IIT-JEE in spite of his financial constraints. Mani's father is a housekeeping staff in a hotel. Helping out these students is a group of dedicated teachers who don't care about tution fees when it comes to bright kids. They also provide food and boarding facilities if needed. "The contribution of a teachers in these cases is only 5 to 10 per cent," Anil Parmar, Shyam's chemistry teacher, says.
