Prema is struggling. This is her first year back at work after she took a seven-year break to take care of her young children. She is a very efficient teacher. She loves teaching Science. She has two very brilliant students in her Class VII. She knows they can pass the National science talent exam if she coached them after school. The students are very keen too. They share her passion for Science. However, their parents want them to go home on time to attend tuitions as one of them is weak in Hindi and the other one is weak in Social Studies. The Coordinator is not interested in the NTSE. She is keenly focused on syllabus completion and doesn't want Prema to work too hard and take sick leave.  The headmaster is interested in the NTSE scholarship for his students but agrees with the Coordinator, Mrs. Shyamala.
