A 69-year-old grandfather in Tripura created history of sorts by becoming the oldest student to pass Class 12 exams, results of which were declared Wednesday.
“I am indeed excited to have cleared the exams and now my goal is to complete graduation in the Arts stream as a regular student,” Ramanimohan Pal said.
Well-wishers and relatives thronged Pal’s residence offering him sweets and garlands.
“He has shown that education is all about determination and hard work and that there is no age limit for acquiring knowledge,” his 63-year-old wife, Leela, said.
Pal is a cardiac patient who underwent a bypass surgery eight years back.
