      The fifth school-going child, Sharmila Khadga, is sick and currently in India with a relative getting treatment. Laxman is repeating grade nine as he failed the exams; he was taken ill with stomach ulcers and unable to prepare well for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Total support needed for the three children for the entire year: 22,800 X 3 = Rs. 68,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Monthly deposit for 11 months = 68400\/12=Rs. 5700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Room and board during the exam: Rs. 11,000 (not unlike last year)

      \nAdditional Books = Rs. 500
      \nTotal = Rs. 13000<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
