Story—The money-lender of village Rautpur of district Deoria ‘UP’ had captured the land of a
poor house owner who was not able to pay a small loan of Rs. 5,000 for the education of his son who
was studying in 5th class. On the second step the money lender dislodged father and his son from their
house to pay the loan within 24 hours. Having come to know, Rahul Verma the son of the village
Sarpanch studying in B.A. IInd year accompanied his four colleagues. First he talked to the affected
father and his son, then had a thorough discussion with experienced and mature people of his village.
After that he immediately talked to the money-lender and pressurised him to allow them to live in their
house and on Sunday evening he with his four colleagues and three experienced senior citizens sat with
the money-lender and asked him to release the land. On second step during discussion he made 25 easy
instalments of Rs. 200 per month that too without any interest and subsequently met the school
principal for free-studentship and free issuing of book’s so as to facilitate the education.
Evaluation of the Story (qualities being revealed)—There is a situation that a family is being
tortured by the money-lender. Having known the situation Mr. Rahul Verma the young son of the
village Sarpanch took the step and challenged the situation. This shows his courage and sense of
responsibility. Courage belongs to factor 4 but sense of responsibility is related to factor IInd that is
social adjustment. Accompanying his four colleagues, taking to the affected father and his son, then
discussing with mature, experienced people reveals his social adaptability and accommodating spirit.
Talking to the money-lender and pressurising him to release the house and land shows the sympathetic
attitude and co-operation instalments. Further pressurising and asking him to release the land displays
his co-operation. Making 25 easy instalments that too with easy payments and meeting the principal
for freeship and issue of books further shows the sense of responsibility.
