In foreign countries, kids earn their pocket money by working by taking up part-time jobs like at a cafe or tutor/babysit younger kids. People believe that it is a good way to learn the value of money and hard work. And now a similar story came from India’s Telangana where a school boy in Telangana’s Jagtial town named Jai Prakash was recently spotted delivering newspapers in a cycle. When asked, he confidently says that there’s nothing wrong with working hard alongside studying.
