Take Senthil, for instance. He discontinued studying at the government school because he was teased and ill-treated by his seniors. His mother and father work in on a daily income basis. Hence, work and income are sporadic. Creating more stress for the family is the fact that his father is a drunkard. He has missed two years of his school life and after coming to the AIM for Seva Free Student Hostel, he has enrolled in Class 8.
