Telangana CM Helps Tribal Girl Who Had To Graze Goats Despite Getting IIT Seat

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy came forward to provide financial assistance for a tribal girl, who was raising goats despite getting a seat in IIT, due to financial problems. Badavath Madhulatha from Rajanna Sirisilla district secured 824th rank in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category in this year’s JEE and bagged a seat in IIT Patna. Due to financial constraints, the family was unable to cover the fee and other expenses for her BTech in Engineering Physics.
Madulatha is the daughter of agricultural laborers; she could only pay ₹17,500 last month for admission. However, the poor family cannot arrange another ₹2.5 lakh towards tuition fees and other needs. Her father’s illness forced her to graze goats in her village to support the family. The faculty of tribal welfare Jr. college, from where she had passed the 12th standard, appealed to the authorities to help the girl. She had to pay the IIT fee on or before July 27.
The state government made a note of the tribal girl’s situation and issued an order for financial assistance to help continue her studies. Telangana CM congratulated Madhulatha for getting a seat in a top institution even with financial problems. “To continue her education, the required amount was released by the tribal welfare department on Wednesday,” he said.
