Guardian angels: Deputy CM Dinesh Sharma, Lucknow University VC adopt orphaned students

LUCKNOW: At least 47 students of Lucknow University who lost their parents or the only earning member of their family due to Covid-19 have got a helping hand from teachers and alumni, including deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma, and vice-chancellor Prof AK Rai.
As many as 39 teachers, six alumni and former teachers, and three administrative officers have decided to ‘adopt’ such students and support them financially to complete their studies.
Deputy CM Dinesh Sharma, who is also the state education minister and a faculty in commerce department, has taken responsibility of MCom student, Sunidhi Srivastava, who lost her father to Covid-19.
“The government is bound to work for people, but at times, collective efforts help in bringing about a positive change in the society,” said Sharma.
LU VC Prof AK Rai said, “As a family, we have come forward to help students.
I have taken the responsibility of a BBA student, Diksha Agarwal.
I feel people should come forward to support each other in such adverse circumstances.” “We have drawn a list of 47 needy students and are looking for more.
Several teachers, former teachers and alumni have come forward to help students.
In professional courses, like engineering, where the fee is high, some teachers have collectively taken the responsibility of students,” said dean, student welfare, Prof Poonam Tandon.
