The inside story of Indian economy

In today's scenario when Indian economy is booming and when Indian entrepreneurs are counted among the richest people of the world, a meritorius student committ sucide, not because he was bad at studies, but he is unable to afford his higher education. Prince Thomas of Kerala took his life a day after his class XII results were announced despite scoring 91per cent in higher secondary exams. The brilliant boy was worried that his family may not be able to afford his higher education expenses as his father had already sold off family property after suffering huge losses in business.

“He was very brilliant in studies and we were all happy about his result. His interest was to join BSc nursing and he collected and filled the admission form from the nursing college. Around 1 am. I woke up and I saw the light in his room. I thought that he was on his studies or forgot to switch off the light. So I knocked on the door. But when it was not opened, then I broke it open saw him hanging,” says Prince’s father M C Thomas.
