As the family could not afford the fee, they approached District Libraries Chairman Enugu Ravinder Reddy, who brought it to the notice of Ravishankar.

Ravishankar, after handing over the amount to Apeksha, said he was happy that a dalit woman from a tiny village has been selected to undergo pilot training. “It is an achievement of the State government since the woman studied in a State-owned residential degree college,” he said, adding that he would provide assistance to her in future too.

Apeksha thanked the MLA for coming forward to extend financial support and expressed confidence that she would achieve higher position in future with the support extended by Ravishankar.

Ravishankar also asked Choppadandi primary agriculture cooperative society (PACS) chairman Velma Malla Reddy to sanction Rs 1 lakh personal loan to Anjaiah, father of Apeksha.
