Aizawl, April 14: 77-year-old Lalringthara from New Hruaikawn village in Mizoram-Myanmar border of Champhai district has set an exemplary example for others by enrolling himself to class 9 in a High School.

The High School is located at Hruaikawn village.

Born in 1945 at Khuangleng village near the Indo-Myanmar border, Lalringthara could not continue his education after Class II due to his father’s demise.

“When he lost his father, he was just two years old. He was forced to help his mother in the jhum fields at a young age because he was the only child,” said a villager of Hruaikawn.

After moving from one place to another, he finally settled at New Hruaikawn village in 1995.

He has been working as chowkidar in the local Presbyterian church to earn his living.
