Kavitha helps tribal youth to join IIM

Hyderabad: Former MP and Telangana Jagruthi President Kalvakuntla Kavitha comes forward to provide financial help with a tribal student who secured a seat in the prestigious IIM.

K Mahesh, son of an agricultural labourer, studied mass communication from Osmania and managed to get a seat in IIM Ranchi.

Mahesh appealed via Twitter to Former MP to help him financially to pay his admission fee.

It was almost inconceivable for Mahesh, a native of Kalwakurthi, to secure a seat in the prestigious Institute but the youngster did the unthinkable and got in. However, his parents, who work as agricultural labourers, were not able to afford the Rs 1 lakh fee, due to the family's poor financial condition.

While Mahesh and his family were overjoyed that he managed to get a seat, their financial status, however, put them in a tough spot, as they had no means to pay the college admission fee. It was then that Mahesh sought help from former TRS MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha and approached her on Twitter. The ex-MP immediately responded to Mahesh's tweet and decided to extend financial support to him.

Mahesh and family members, who are now happy that the youngster will study in a prestigious institution, thanked Kavitha for immediately responding and providing financial support to pay an admission fee.

Former MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha congratulated Mahesh on his achievement and extended best wishes to him.
