‘Gold with courage’  
 
THE story of Indian students winning gold medals in IJSO also includes courage. Gold medallists Praneet Mathur and Harshit Singla said that due to the change in environment, they had high fever in the last three days. Seeing the ill health of both, the coordinator told them“if you are unwell, do not attempt tomorrow’s paper.” Both the students discussed among themselves and told the coordinator that the country has a lot of expectations from them.“If we lose courage due to fever, then we will always regret that we could not do anything for the country,” they said. After this, both of them took tablets, encouraged each other and brought glory to the country by winning gold medals.
