Hyderabad: Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy stepped in to help a meritorious student facing financial hardship after her appeal on social media highlighted difficulties in continuing her education.
Bhavitha, a student from Boduppal, scored 582 out of 600 marks in the SSC examinations and emerged as her school’s topper. She also secured State Rank 634 in POLYCET.
However, financial problems prevented her family from clearing pending school fee dues. As a result, the school withheld her certificates, creating uncertainty over her admission process.
With the deadline for POLYCET certificate verification approaching, Bhavitha posted a video on social media seeking help. She explained that she could not access the certificates required for higher studies despite her academic achievements.
The video reached Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Saturday morning. He immediately directed his staff to verify the facts. He also contacted the school principal and asked for the student’s certificates to be brought to his residence.
