His mother, who worked as a domestic maid, was struggling to make ends meet, Madhav told DH. The boy, after some gentle persuasion, revealed that despite being the class topper he was not able to pursue education like the other children of his age. Madhav noticed students making fun of a boy who sat on the steps of his shop looking miserable. "In 2005, a group of students, after completing the seventh standard public examinations, had stopped at my shop," recollected Madhav, tracing his 15 years journey of reviving dreams. Twenty years ago, he opened a stationary shop near Koornadka mosque. Madhav, who was forced to dropout from the school, initially assisted his father in running a grocery shop. Incidentally, the video clip on social media generated more than ‘40,000 likes’ a few days ago and also created a few ‘admirers’. If not for the modest shop (Madhav enterprises), owned by 50-year-old G Madhav Prabhu, hundreds of children would have dropped out from schools without fulfilling their dreams, declares a video clip uploaded on social media. The tiled shop in Koornadka, Puttur, is a mere stationery shop selling books and pens for some but for students keen on pursuing their studies against all odds it is a ray of hope.
