The students of Sambalpur University have shown humanity. They have come to the aide of an old student Jayadev Swain of the department of Library Science, when they came to know from social media that the Jayadev is suffering from brain tumour whose treatment is too expensive.
Jayadev was a student of Library Science in 2016-18 batch. He did his internship in another place. But thereafter he developed sickness that had been finally diagnosed to be due to brain tumour, the department sources said.
HoD of the department Prof Bulu Maharana came forward to help the boy. He informed the matter to the classmates of Jaydev who expressed their willingness to help him and extended financial support to the best of their capacity.
“The old students have collected Rs 1.30 lakh and we will give it to Jayadev,” informed Prof Maharana. “We will also help if he needs more money for his treatment,” Maharana added.
“At present, Jayadev is undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Visakhapatnam and we are hopeful that his problem will be over soon by the grace of God and good wishes from well wishers and friends,” said Premraj Mishra, Pradeep Nikhandia and other staff members of the department.
