- Andhra Pradesh Education Minis, physically disabled students, IIT admissions, NIT admissions
Nara Lokesh, the Education Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has demonstrated exemplary leadership by swiftly addressing a technical issue that affected 25 physically disabled students' admissions to prestigious institutions like IITs and NITs. These students, despite securing good ranks in the JEE, faced rejection due to a discrepancy in subject requirements mandated by the AP Education Department.
Promptly responding to a WhatsApp message highlighting the issue, Lokesh intervened to amend the students' mark sheets, ensuring compliance with the admission criteria of IITs and NITs. Within a week, the necessary changes were implemented through a government order (G.O.), enabling all 25 students to overcome the hurdle and secure their educational futures.
Not only did Lokesh facilitate their admissions, but he also demonstrated empathy and support by personally gifting Dell Laptops to the students upon their visit to express gratitude. This proactive and compassionate approach underscores Lokesh's commitment to ensuring equal opportunities in education and his dedication to the welfare of students in Andhra Pradesh. His actions have not only changed the lives of these students but also set a benchmark for effective governance and responsiveness in the education sector.
