The BJP-led government in Maharashtra, in order to give higher and technical studies a push appointed a road-side ‘chaiwala’ as its education brand ambassador.
Somnath Giram (30), a Pune-based tea-seller, had recently hogged limelight when he cleared chartered accountancy (CA), beating all odds. The success story of this chaiwala is truly inspiring.
The Maharashtra government hopes that Somnath’s story of hard work and struggle will inspire the youth of the state and many students who cannot complete their education due to lack of funds will be encouraged to fulfill their dreams.
