Getting a university first rank was never in the mind of Payal Kumari, daughter of a migrant worker from Bihar who topped the BA Archaeology course in the Kerala-based Mahatma Gandhi University, surmounting all odds, including financial woes.
Paying the annual college fee of Rs 3,000 itself was a big problem for her family, which migrated to Kerala nearly two decades ago, but thanks to good samaritans including, her teachers, she overcame the hurdle and has now set her eyes on post-graduation in the prestigious JNU and on civil services.
Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for Kumari with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan calling her up and praising her for her achievement.
