Government Grants Rs 2.5 Lakh to Support Disabled Doctor Aspirant

In a decisive move, the Chhattisgarh administration allocated INR 2.5 million to cover Poornima Singh’s medical tuition. The grant, approved by Collector Ajit Vasant, is earmarked for tuition fees at the Jagdalpur Medical College, ensuring the student can focus solely on her studies.

The funding arrives at a critical juncture, as the cost of medical education continues to rise. By providing this assistance, the state hopes to set a precedent for future interventions aimed at talented students facing economic hardship.

Stakeholders praised the policy, noting that it aligns with national objectives to increase the participation of persons with disabilities in professional fields such as medicine.
