Actor Indrans, at 68, Takes State Literacy Mission Exam After Overcoming Financial Struggles

Actor Indrans, driven by a determination to complete his education despite past challenges, has enrolled in the state literacy mission’s seventh-grade equivalency exam. At 68, he arrived at Attakulangara School in Thiruvananthapuram to take the exam, where he was warmly congratulated by Education Minister V. Shivankutty via a Facebook post.

Indrans had to stop his education in the fourth grade due to financial difficulties in his family and later worked at a relative’s tailoring shop to make ends meet. It was from this background that he eventually entered the film industry. His current pursuit of education is a testament to his belief that age should not be a barrier to learning.

The exam is being held at the Government Higher Secondary School near Thiruvananthapuram Medical College. Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, the tests will start at 9:30 AM each day, covering six subjects over the two days. Those who pass will be eligible to join the 10th-grade equivalency course directly. A total of 151 individuals are participating in the exam.
