30-year-old village farmer bags 2nd position in Intermediate exams

NAWABSHAH: A 30-year-old farmer from a small village near Nawabshah has proved that the desire to get education has no age limit.

Ali Hassan Brohi, a father of five from Jumma Khan village in Daur district 50 kilometers from Nawabshah, had to discontinue his studies in class 8th when his father, the family's breadwinner, passed away. Faced by financial difficulties, Ali Hassan was forced to work and look after his family.

But the young village farmer did not lose hope.

Almost a decade later, Ali Hassan decided to continue his education and registered for his Intermediate exams in Arts this year. Not only did Ali Hassan clear his exams with flying colours, he received second position in the whole Hyderabad division.

"I have obtained second position despite being a farmer. I want to tell my students and my friends that they should pursue and believe in education. Inshallah, you will succeed," he said.



Speaking to Geo News, Ali Hassan said that he never felt any embarrassment or shame sitting in the examination room with students much younger than him. He expressed his wish to continue his higher education further with the same passion, and advised other students like him to follow in his footsteps.

Sikander Ali Rind, Hassan's teacher and friend who helped him prepare for the exams, said his pupil exceeded his expectations.

“He is a very hard-working student. Despite being from inter Sindh, he has worked hard and obtained second position. Our prayers are for his future,” said Rind.
