Rs. 20 lakh for women’s hostel

NARASAMPET (WARANGAL DT.): The joy was writ large on the faces of several tribal girls who tread miles to reach their college.

The Union Minister of State for Commerce, Jairam Ramesh contributed Rs. 20 lakh worth of funds for the hostel for the girls.

“It is difficult staying in a rented room. The money did not come regularly. We miss the class to cook food in the early hours,” said Bharathi, a Koya girl studying BSc.

Mr. Ramesh who adopted some of the tribal mandals in the district had been focusing on providing basic facilities channelling his constituency development funds.
