Vikas, a Class VIII student of Middle School-Bilauti in Bhojpur district and Naina, a Class IX student of Manohar High School-Baijnathpur in Saharsa district got the first position in essay writing in junior and senior categories, respectively. The theme of the essay writing competition was 'What can I do for making India clean?'. The winners received Rs 1 lakh and a memento from the PM.
"It is a proud moment for my family and school. The PM asked me about my school and told me to work hard. He was happy to know that someone from Bihar defeated other participants and ranked first in writing. His speech gives me a hope and positive energy to work hard for my state," Naina told this correspondent over phone from New Delhi.
Vikas said his dream to meet the PM was fulfilled on Monday because of his writing skill. "We not only study at school, but also clean it every day. We also motivate others to keep their surroundings clean and construct toilet in their homes. I had written all my concerns in my essay," Vikas added.
The participants went through various rounds of competition at school, inter-school, district and national levels. The competitions were held in Bihar under the guidance of Bihar Education Project Council between August 16 and September 15.
