Congress-BJP Leaders Help Bengaluru Student Resolve ICAR Admission Hurdle
A student from Bengaluru wanted to study agriculture.
A problem with an online government admission website stopped her from uploading proof that she lives in India.
This could have made her family pay nearly ₹6 lakh more.
Her father drives an autorickshaw, so the extra cost would have been difficult.
Minister Balakrishna listened to the family and took the student and her father to Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar.
He also asked BJP MP Tejasvi Surya and Union Minister V. Somanna to help.
The family was given air tickets and a place to stay in Delhi while they met officials.
The admission problem was eventually fixed, allowing the student to continue her education.
The case was described as an example of Congress and BJP leaders working together.
A Dasarahalli student faced an online residency-document problem during ICAR admission to an agricultural course.
The portal issue could have imposed an additional financial burden of nearly ₹6 lakh on her family.
Karnataka Minister Balakrishna took the student and her father to Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar’s official residence for assistance.
