Warangal: Her passion and love for studies helped her face all odds in life, but now she is having trouble continuing with her studies at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER). Narmetta Navya Sri scored 628 All India Rank in the NIPER-Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) -2021 and secured an M Tech (Medical Devices) seat in the prestigious NIPER, Hyderabad.
Navya Sri, the daughter of Narmetta Rajender and Nagalakshmi, did her B Pharmacy from the University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Satavahana University (SU) campus in Karimnagar and appeared for the NIPER-JEE-2021.
Speaking to Telangana Today, her mother Nagalakshmi said that Navya Sri had been a disciplined and meritorious student since her school days. “While she completed her SSC in Scholars’ High School, Warangal with a GPA of 9.8, she also secured 953 marks in the Intermediate. She did her Inter from the APRJC, Hasanparthy. We migrated to Warangal in search of livelihood from Tekumatla. While my husband worked as an auto driver, I have been working as a tailor. But my husband died of a heart attack in 2018 and lives became more miserable due to financial problems,” Nagalakshmi lamented narrating the events in her life.
“At present, we are staying in a rented room in Laxminagar under Kareemabad locality in Warangal city. Though my daughter is performing well in her studies, we are in dire need of financial support as I have already borrowed loans to pay the fees and other expenditure of my son Naveen who is doing his B Tech in a private college in Narsampet,” Nagalakshmi said and appealed to the donors and philanthropists to help her daughter to continue with her M Tech by paying her fees and other expenditure.
“I have to pay Rs 43,000 towards semester fees, mess bills, and other expenses. To complete my PG, I need Rs 2 lakh besides a laptop, which is a need now,” Navya Sri said and added that she had got admission into the NIPER, Mohali, Punjabi, opted for Hyderabad college, due to a financial crisis.
“I received Rs 12,000 stipend per month, but I have to pay Rs 43,000 per semester and Rs 5,000 for mess bills. I have already paid Rs 90,000 for admission fee and semester fees,” she and urged the donors to help her.
NIPER-Mohali was the first institute established in 1998 under the aegis of the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, the Government of India.
Later, six new NIPERs across the country including NIPER-Hyderabad were set up to strive towards excellence in the field of higher education and research in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Management and to be one of the principal sources of professional manpower in the field, for strengthening the Indian Pharma industry.
