Boy who washed cars at 4 am to make ends meet, scores 91.7% in class 12

New Delhi: A 17-year-old boy who lived in a tightly packed Delhi slum with eight other people overcame great hardships and scored 91.7% in his CBSE class 12 examinations.

Parmeshwar used to wash cars at Khanpur since class 10 and made Rs 3,000 a month with which he paid his uniforms and books. Even during the harsh Delhi winters, Parmeshwar woke up at 4am and walked for half an hour to reach his place of work. His strenuous work then continued for 2.5 hours washing around 10-15 cars. He did this for six days a week.

“People also used to scold me and for a few hundred bucks we had to bear all the humiliation,” the despondent teen says.

His 62-year-old father is a heart patient and his brothers had unstable job. The money he made was to support his education. In March, his father had a surgery. Parmeshwar was at the hospital with his father from where he prepared for his Hindi examination.

During this difficult time, Asha Society, an NGO, ensured all the help they could provide to Parmeshwar. They helped with sample papers and also helped him apply online for an English Honours course at Delhi University.
