Education Minister Nara Lokesh has assured government support for a Class X student from Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Kondapuram, Nellore district, who had to discontinue her studies after her mother's death and was taken to Hyderabad by her father. The girl reached out to Lokesh via X with a video plea to resume her education.
Lokesh directed Nellore district collector Himanshu Shukla to counsel her father and ensure her return to school. The collector gathered details and attempted to contact the father, who initially refused to respond. A special team was sent to Hyderabad to counsel the father, and the girl is expected to resume her studies at the KGBV shortly, with the government extending all necessary support.
Both The Hindu and Deccan Chronicle report the same sequence of events, with Lokesh intervening after a student's social media plea and directing the collector to act. Both note the father's initial refusal to cooperate and the dispatch of a special team. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant. The key development is the government's prompt response, but the father's reluctance means the girl's actual return to school remains the concrete open point.
