M. Ranganathan, a native of Theni in Tamil Nadu, was busy cutting a tree on the Erattupta Government Government, when a sudden liquid disrupted the work. He and his collaborators rushed to the school porch for shelter.
When his collaborators stood and watched the rain, Ranganathan’s gaze turned in and watched the teacher performed her lesson and involved her students. His intense, unwavering attention was not unnoticed. Curious, director Sheeja Salim approached him and asked what attracted him. “Teacher, teaching methods are excellent here,” Ranganathan replied.
She moved with her words and asked more about his background and was amazed at what she heard. A few minutes later she did something unexpected. She invited him to give a motivational conversation with the students.
Last year, Ranganathan worked in the area of Pala – Erattupetta and occupied all the jobs he could find. But behind these heartless hands, there is an academic path that he would only imagine.
In Tamil
Ranganathan comes from Kombai in Uthamapaayam Taluk from Theni district and holds a college title at the American College in Madurai. He continued his postgraduate studio in Tamil, followed by a bed and honey from institutions in Trichy. Even briefly served as a temporary teacher in his school Alma Mater SKP in combine.
But despite its qualifications, the financial reality took over. With wages in Kerala offering around 300 GBP more a day than in Tamil Nadu, a year ago he moved across the border. In Erattupetta, he took a job to clean up the school in the hope of earning enough to pay a fee for an application for the upcoming job test.
School authorities, which were impressed by his background and humility and invited him to talk to two students at the beginning of this week. “I lived my dream when students and teachers were applauded after my story,” said Ranganathan. “That moment gave me motivation to move forward in my life.”
Financial burden
Ranganathan was born in 1989 Mugeshware and Saraswathi Amma and lost his mother when he was in class XI. Since then, he and his sister Sundari have been brought up by their mother’s uncle. Although his family supported his education up to the bed level, he had to bear the financial burden of his media studies. For six months, he worked on the Kari production unit in Perumbavoor to save enough money.
Despite his academic success, his dream remained a full -time teacher. Despite the failures of Ranganathan, he still dreams of persecution of the carrier as a teacher and a motivational speaker.
