Manish used to make copious notes on each and every topic, repeatedly asking questions so he could improve further, said Shailendra Mohan Jha, Manish’s economics teacher. “His desire to excel is so tremendous that he is equally at ease with Sanskrit, Economics and Science,” he said. Manish’s dream is to enter one of the IITs, he added.
