An 8-year-old student of a private school in Delhi managed to raise around Rs 2 lakh to pay the board exam fee of more than 100 government school students who could not afford the fee due to financial hardships.

Adhiraaj Sejwal, who studies in Class 3, started the noble deed after he got to know from his mother, a teacher at the government school situated in Begumpur, that some students at her school were unable to pay the exam fee. Moved by their plight, he took out Rs 12,500 from his piggy bank and deposited the fee of five students.
