13-year-old boy gets $7,500 after a photo of him studying & working outside a metro station goes viral on Facebook

13-year-old Harendra Singh Chauhan got a check for
500,000 rupees (approximately $7,500) from the Uttar
Pradesh government after a photo of him studying on the
ground outside the Noida City Centre metro station in
Noida, India, went viral on Facebook.
Harendra was photographed outside the metro station with
his notebooks and a scale where he was studying and at the
same time weighing passers-by to make small money.
The post was shared by Vikas Sharda, who called on people
at the station to use his services and help him get back to
his studies. The post grabbed the attention of Chief Minister
Akhilesh Yadav, who was moved by Chuahan's story and
gave him the money to help fund his education.
