Support pours in for tribal girl after KTR’s tweet
The Hindu
Philanthropists, NGO representatives, readers of The Hindu volunteer to extend financial support to Srilatha
In a heart-warming gesture, several good Samaritans have come forward to support Karam Srilatha, the 17-year-old girl belonging to a poor tribal family from the interior Mamidigudem village in Charla mandal of Bhadrachalam Agency, to help her pursue B. Tech at the Indian Institute of Technology - BHU, Varanasi.
Driven by optimism, Srilatha continued her educational pursuits with fortitude and secured admission in B. Tech (ceramic engineering) course at IIT-BHU by virtue of her 919 rank in JEE (Advanced) 2021. But a major hurdle stood in her way to continue with further studies at a far-off place due to the poor financial condition of her parents.
Srilatha’s determined quest to join the IIT against all odds was highlighted in these columns in a report titled “Adivasi girl from remote village bags IIT seat” on Sunday.
