Madrasa helps dropouts clear class 10 exam By Sundipto Mondal

“This is not an organisation meant for Muslims alone. Illiteracy does not have a religion neither does education,” says Mr. Putthige. The successful students narrated some heart-warming stories at the madrasa in Kannur on Wednesday. Asha (26) says she had dropped out of school after VII standard because of her father’s death. “That was 13 years ago,” she reveals. She passed the SSLC examination with a first class this year. “Now I want to become an IAS officer,” she blushes.
