Hands over 2-BHK proceedings, autorickshaw to Inter student
Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao extended support to a second year Intermediate student, keeping an assurance he gave to her some time ago.
The Minister handed over an autorickshaw and 2-BHK proceedings to Sabita, the student from Nalgonda who drove an auto to support her family. Sabita’s father passed away a few years ago and her mother was working in a small restaurant in Nalgonda.
Mr. Rama Rao came to know about the plight of the girl through Twitter and immediately directed Nalgonda District Collector Prashant Patil to meet and assist her. Calling her a dynamic girl in his tweet, he expressed his desire to meet her personally, which happened on Wednesday.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
