13-year-old boy gets $7,500 after a photo of him studying & working outside a metro station goes viral on Facebook

13-year-old Harendra Singh Chauhan got a check for 500,000 rupees (approximately $7,500) from the Uttar Pradesh government after a photo of him studying on the ground outside the Noida City Centre metro station in Noida, India, went viral on Facebook.

Harendra was photographed outside the metro station with his notebooks and a scale where he was studying and at the same time weighing passers-by to make small money.

The post was shared by Vikas Sharda, who called on people at the station to use his services and help him get back to his studies. The post grabbed the attention of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who was moved by Chuahan's story and gave him the money to help fund his education.

This boy reminds me of me. It takes hard work to attain success. God will crown your efforts do not relent.

@Stern you aint sound at all. You saw something instead of you to say something positive you're there saying it was planned by his parent. May God help you & that Henry Eze guy that always type negative vipe on post to be taken really serious!

Can't hold bck my tears, really happy he got help.... I remember a day I was in d traffic some where around ikeja around past 10 I saw two brothers selling groundnut. They look very young they can pass for age 10 and 7, I noticed d elder telling d younger to stop running after cars so he can have is dinner, (bread n sachet water ) it was a cold night....burst out in tears, I never appreciate my parent for always forcing me to bed around 7:30 8 then cos I need to wake up early for sch the next day. Can't forget that particular day....always wish I could help kids like this, you don't knw what they do to survive

If the boy should try it here In Lagos,it will not be funny for him when he find himself in KAI blackmaria,

Stern, your stupidity is beyond belief. Is that all you have to say about his story? I think you need to sit down and re-educate yourself. Also go on your knee's and ask God to open your eyes and heart to enable you empathise with people.
It is no wonder our country is in trouble when we have stone hearted people like you ruling the country and in our police force. You lack humanity!
