The fathers of both the youngsters, who have made it to IIT Vizag and IIT Kanpur respectively in Petrochemicals and Mechanical engineering, are small time agricultural labour. Due to their modest economic background, both the meritorious students had no means to pay the required fees, HHF said.

“We are pleased to inform that we will be sponsoring the total fees for academic year amounting to Rs 4.5 lacs. Likewise, SEED-USA will be giving scholarships worth Rs 85 lakh to more TGMRIES Students.
