Sarvesh wants to become a judge

Fourteen year old Sarvesh  is a student in a mainstream local school, Swami Vivekanand Vidyalaya at Lodhar.  He was initially enrolled at an Apna Skool centre and studied there till 5^th grade, but since his family showed that they were keen on ensuring he got a good education, Jagriti helped get him enrolled in a mainstream school.

Sarvesh’s father, Ram Sidhar, is a daily wage laborer and his mother, Manju, runs a vegetable shop on the roadside to augment the family income. The family migrated from a village in the Fatehpur district in Uttar Pradesh to Kanpur city, in search of work.  His elder brother, Shailesh, studies in Grade 6 in Jawaharlal Inter College and his younger brother, Neelesh, studies in Dhamikheda Apna Skool in Grade 5. His younger sister too has just started Grade 1 in Apna Skool. His elder brother has some chronic ailment that has not yet been diagnosed satisfactorily, resulting in his slow academic progress.

Sarvesh assists his mother in the shop both in the morning and the evening to relieve her to attend to cooking and other household duties.  Nowadays, after school,  he often spends time,  at his ex-school Dhamikheda Apna Skool,  demonstrating simple Science experiments sparking the curiosity of younger children. He thus reflects the pride and joy of learning on one hand and draws pleasure from sharing knowledge with the youngsters.

Sarvesh likes to play cricket, visit historic monuments and sites and compose poems in  Hindi. He wants to become a judge so that those who are corrupt and criminals are punished and thus save the country from criminals.
