14-year-old Heena becomes SDM for one day after securing 94 per cent marks in Matric
She is the daughter of office peon Tota Ram
Dharamshala: One may have seen the character of a man who become Chief Minister of a day in the Bollywood movie ‘Nayak’, which was a film story not a realty. But, it happened in Kangra in real life too on Friday. SDM Kangra Jatin Lal has made Heena, the daughter of his office peon Tota Ram, the SDM (Sub Divisional Officer Civil) for a day to honour her for scoring 94% marks in the Class X Exam of Himachal Education Board.
The 14-year-old Heena sat on the SDM chair on Friday at Kangra and the SDM Jatin Lal sat beside her.
She said, “I felt proud today and came to know the responsibilities of an IAS officer towards the public, and to sort out their problems.”
Jatin Lal said, “I came to know that Heena’s dream is to be an IAS Officer and she is preparing herself for it, I decided that she live the dream live for a day and understands the responsibilities and works of an officer. The PM of India and the CM are encouraging us to promote beti bachao beti Padhao scheme, so I felt it the right opportunity to promote the girl child.”
Heena’s father Tota Ram said, “I am really thankful to SDM Kangra to give such a proud moment for my daughter and family.”
