Request closed, we have got a donor. Thanks all!




The expected amount for the family is around Rs 10, 000 a month. Those who are interested to contribute please let me know.



The family still needs support for household expenses so that Annapoorani can focus on studies. At present, she plans to work at the tea shop to manage expenses. If anyone wishes to help her, do let me know.

After #TNIE published a report on the hardships faced by 17-year-old R Annapoorani, a student of #GCC’s #Saidapet Girls Higher Secondary School who scored 428 in Class 12 despite all odds, chairman of @ECWChennai, @mike_vmm, offered her admission to the BSc Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence course she aspired to study. Annapoorani was abandoned by her parents at a temple when she was just three months old. Her great-grandmother, D Kamalam, raised and educated her while working as a domestic help. Offering the seat, Muralidharan said, “I saw the girl’s story published by #TNIE on X and immediately wanted to offer her a seat in our college with a full scholarship.” @AntoJoseph @JDheepthi @SAPRAVEENA1 Read more here: newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai…
