Following directives from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, District Magistrate of Varanasi has got two poor children admitted to school within 24 hours. During his visiot to the city, the two children had met the Chief Minister.
Shiva (6) and Priya (8) were admitted to lower KG and Upper KG classes respectively in Tulsi Niketan Balika Inter College in Hukulganj. As per the CM’s directives, the kids have been provided with free books, uniforms and shoes.
During his visit to Pt Deendayal Upadhaya Hospital on Sunday, Yogi noticed these two children sitting on the verandah of the hospital and enquired from them whether they go to school. While Shiva and Priya replied in the negative, their father told the CM that since they were very poor, they could not afford books and school fees.
The CM then asked the DM to get the children admitted to a school free of cost and even asked local MlA Ravindra Jaiswal to arrange for uniforms, books and other things for them. On Monday morning, the DM got these children admiited to a school nearest to their residence.
