How much will this prize money change your life?
I have done a Masters in psychology. I wanted to appear for the civil services examination but the financial crunch didn't let me pursue my dreams. I got a job where I could earn Rs 6, 000 per month and was satisfied with it.
Now I have enough money to help my family and fulfill my dreams. I want to build a new house. Then I want to help my younger brother who is working with a garment shop and earns only Rs 1, 500 per month. I would help him to start a new business. I want my elder brother to get a new shop.
I plan to go to Delhi to prepare for the civil exams; I want to become an IAS officer.
I will save the rest of the money.
