According to a press release from Gambhir’s office, 10 girls who are studying in various government schools this session have been selected. Gambhir was quoted saying:
“ We will sponsor their school fees, uniform, food, medical help including counselling so that they can achieve their dreams,”
He also revealed that in the next session, he and his team would be reaching out to more children as their target is to bring at least 25 children into this program. He further said:
“We aim to empower adolescent girls (5-18 years) by giving them regular counselling so that they do not drop out and complete their education,”
