'No desire to study': Kota student leaves home
Rajendra Meena, a 19-year-old student from Bamanwas in Rajasthan has reportedly embarked on a self-imposed exile for five years as he did not want to continue his studies. The student, who was preparing for the NEET medical entrance exam in Kota at the time of his disappearance, informed his parents of his decision via text message. The message read, "I am leaving home and I do not wish to further my education. Please tell mother not to worry about me."
