Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today extended financial assistance to a student of Bolangir to fulfill his dream of becoming an Engineer. The CM sanctioned Rs. 96,500 to Taraban Rana of Badapada village of Sindhekela region in Bangamunda Tehsil in Bolangir to take admission in NIT Warangal.
The Chief Minister sanctioned the money after he learnt about the financial problem and hardship of Rana to take admission in NIT. The annual income of Upasu Rana, the father of Traban, was only Rs 45,000. Despite the financial constraint Taraban was continuously trying his best to fulfill his dreams and in the JEE Main for Engineering this year he has been selected for taking admission in NIT Warangal securing 99.35 marks. But money came in the way of his dream as he had no money for the admission.
With much difficulty he however, reserved the seat for admission by arranging some money. The student had requested the Chief Minister to provide the money so that he could pursue his study. The Chief Minister responding to his letter, sanctioned Rs. 96,500 to complete his admission
process. CM, Naveen Patnaik also congratulated him for his success and wished for his bright future.
