Puttur: MLA, BEO visit student Deeksha - Promise new house


Daijiworld Media Network - Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Jun 30: Learning from social websites and the media about the plight of a poor SSLC student, Deeksha Shetty, whose family is mired in problems, which have been further compounded by the collapse of her house, MLA Sanjeeva Matandoor and block education officer (BEO) Lokesh, along with several others visited Deeksha. Deeksha Shetty is a SSLC student of Karnataka Public School at Muthoor. Her mother who rolls beedis is the only support the family has as her father cannot work on account of leg pain.

The house of Deeksha in which she resided with parents and brother was already in shambles. On June 28, because of rain, the house had collapsed and efforts were made to stop further collapse with plastic sheets. Deeksha was worrying about how to study for her SSLC exams and her predicament was published by social websites and the media alike.

Puttur BEO Lokesh, said that if the student wants, she will be allowed to appear for the exam at Kombettu high school. He however stated that Deeksha said she would like to appear for the exam from her current school as she currently stays in the house of a relative at Kuppepadavu.

The BEO instructed the cluster resource person to admit Deeksha's brother, who has completed seventh standard, into Kombettu high school.

Several organizations including Puttur Bantara Sangha have promised the family help to reconstruct the collapsed house. Another organization has planned to temporarily shelter the family at Darbe and build a new house later. BJP Yuva Morcha district president, Sahaj Rai, led a team that handed over food kit.

    It is a sad thing to know such a situation has arisen at present in the case of the SSLC Student Deeksha Shetty and his poor mother without a proper shelter over them in times of dire need. I am really hopeful that some good aid will pour into this poor family immediately. Praying Our Gracious Almighty to redeem the heavy burdon on this poor house hold very soon and relieve them from anxiety. Many thanks to all those who have rendered help to relieve them sufferings. GOD BLESS ALL !

    Very sad. The MLA, BEO & other social organisations had to wait for a heavy rain to promise their help to a family of their area...! There might be many such families in India, should we wait till it rains? Isn't the social responsibility to find such families & help at the earliest?

    Many Philanthropists have pledged their fortunes for charity, then why aid doesn't reach such poor destitute people in need?

    Some high-earners create charity Foundations (with their family members as Directors) to move their income to these Foundations and pay little/no tax on that amount. Then they publish that they are Philanthropists. The public starts praising such "generous and large-hearted" individuals as modern-day saviours. But the money does not go anywhere! As they are following all the right laws, nothing is illegal.
