Passes matric exam in 26 years

KURUKSHETRA, MAY 11. Try, try and try again. This old adage was followed by a man from Haryana who succeeded in clearing the matric exams 26 years after his first attempt.

Rajinder Sharma got the coveted certificate this year though he first sat for the examination in 1974-75 from Hindu High School at Ladwa.

He kept on appearing in the examinations and managed to pass out successfully this year.

``None should be disheartened. Face failures with courage'' Rajinder, resident of Haryana village near Ladwa town, says on his well-earned success.
