She pursued a diploma course in Hyderabad while staying at the Government-run State Home in Yousufguda. In 2019, she cracked the ECET and secured a seat in BTech Computer Science course at CBIT, Gandipet. However, she could not afford the college and hostel fees. A request was made to the IT Minister through Twitter three days before the last date to pay the fees. Responding immediately, the Minister met Rachana and extended financial assistance for college expenses.
Buoyed with the financial assistance extended by the Minister, she completed B Tech in June this year with flying colours and got four job offers in her final semester. On Monday, Rachana and her relatives met the Minister at Pragathi Bhavan.
It was an emotional moment for Rachna when she tied a Rakhi to the Minister, who stood by her like a brother all through the tough times. The young woman bought a custom-made silver rakhi with the money she had saved. The Minister too became emotional listening to Rachana. He assured her of all help in her future endeavours, including her dream of becoming a Civil Servant.
Later, Rama Rao tweeted “Nothing more gratifying than seeing someone you assisted come back to you after they’ve fulfilled their dreams. Rachana came after graduating with 4 job offers!! Cognizant, Wipro among the offers she received. Congratulated her & wished her the best in her future pursuits”
