Lalringthara, a 78-year-old man, from Hruaikawn village in Mizoram is proving that there is no age for learning. Lalringthara's determination to fulfill his life-long dream of completing his education brought him back to school. He aims to improve his English language skills, learn how to write applications and understand the news.
Donning his school uniform, he carries his books and travels 3 km everyday to Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) High School. 1945 in Khuangleng village near the Indo-Myanmar border, Mr Lalringthara could not continue his education after Class 2 due to his father's death. He was forced to help his mother in the jhum fields at a young age because he was the only child, reported the news portal.
After moving from one place to another, he finally settled in New Hruaikawn village in 1995.
