School Girl Drops Out After Father's Accident. How Yogi Adityanath Helped Her
Gorakhpur: A class 7 student in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, who sought Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's help after her parents were unable to pay the school fees, was enrolled again on Monday. The girl, Pankhuri Tripathi, met Mr Adityanath at a 'Janta Darshan' (a public grievance redressal program) in Gorakhpur on July 1 and appealed for financial support, saying that her father, Rajiv Kumar Tripathi, quit his job after he sustained a critical leg injury in an accident. "I want to study, but my family is unable to pay the school fees," she told Mr Adityanath. The Chief Minister then assured the girl that her education would not be disrupted. "Either your fees will be waived, or we will arrange the amount," he promised. Ms Tripathi, however, on Saturday, said the management at her school, Saraswati Shishu Mandir, had refused to waive her fees and misbehaved with them. "I had gone to the Chief Minister with a fee waiver request. He gave me a chocolate and assured me that it would be done. But when I went to school with my father, they misbehaved with us. We were told that the fee couldn't be waived. They said that if more parents sought a fee waiver, the school wouldn't be able to function. They said they have to pay teachers," she said. "My father broke down. No one had ever spoken to him like this. But I trust that the Chief Minister will not let my dream shatter. I will work hard and become an IAS officer," she said. The school officials then enrolled her after receiving a letter from Gorakhpur's Basic Education Officer. "On 01.07.2025, in the Janta Darshan program, Ms Pankhuri Tripathi requested admission in class 7 of your institution, mentioning the poor financial condition of her family. You are requested to consider the request and admit her to class 7 of your institution," Ramendra Kumar Singh said in a letter dated July 5. After the admission, the girl and her father thanked Mr Adityanath for the support.

UP School Refuses Fee Waiver For Gorakhpur Girl Despite CM Yogi's Promise
Last Updated: The family said the Chief Minister assured them her education would not be disrupted due to financial constraints and promised a fee waiver. A school in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, declined to waive the fees of a Class 7 student, despite Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath assuring her of support for her education following her appeal for financial assistance. Pankhuri Tripathi, a student at Saraswati Shishu Mandir in Gorakhpur, approached CM Yogi Adityanath during Janata Darbar on July 1, requesting a school fee waiver after her father lost his job due to a leg injury. The family said the Chief Minister assured them her education would not be disrupted due to financial constraints and promised a fee waiver. However, Pankhuri and her father were informed by the school that fee waivers were not possible. 'I had gone to the Chief Minister with a fee waiver request. He gave me a chocolate and assured me that it would be done. But when I went to school with my father, they misbehaved with us," she said, as quoted by NDTV. The school, run by Vidya Bharati, charges Rs 1,650 per month. According to reports, Pankhuri's pending dues are about Rs 18,000. The student's father, Rajiv Kumar Tripathi, said he lost his job after a fall during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been struggling to pay school fees for both his children. He said he was moved by his daughter's disappointment. 'When I saw my daughter crying, I broke down too," he said. Akhilesh Yadav Reacts The issue drew a sharp response from the Opposition, with Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav offering to support the girl's education. जो जमा करने में जुटे हैं, वो किसी की फ़ीस क्या माफ़ या जमा कराएँगे।हमारा वादा है बच्ची की पढ़ाई नहीं रुकेगी। ये है भाजपा के झूठे नारे 'बेटी बचाओ, बेटी पढ़ाओ' का सच। भाजपाइयों से आग्रह है कि बच्चों से झूठ न बोलें। — Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) July 5, 2025 Despite the political outreach, the family expressed faith in CM Yogi Adityanath, who represents Gorakhpur. 'We are associated with the Math and Maharajji. We believe he would ensure my daughter's education," said Tripathi. While the school administration declined to give any comment, an official from the state education department said a letter has been sent to the school, and a positive resolution is expected.

Dedicated to realise PM Modi's vision of Viksit Odisha, says CM Mohan Charan Majhi
This afternoon, the beloved prime minister of the country, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, arrives in Odisha. On behalf of four-and-half crore Odias, I extend a heartfelt welcome to him on this sacred land of Lord Jagannath. This visit holds a special significance - Modi Ji completes 11 years of dedicated service as the prime minister of India, while I complete my first year as the chief minister of Odisha. In the past year alone, Modi Ji has visited Odisha five times. With today's visit, it becomes his sixth visit since the formation of the double-engine government in the state. Remarkably, Prime Minister Modi has visited Odisha more times than the total visits of all previous prime ministers combined. His frequent visit to Odisha signifies his unique sense of devotion to Lord Jagannath and love for Odisha. During the last one year, I have not only been fortunate to meet him on several occasions, but also experienced his vision for the accelerated economic growth of Odisha. Being involved in social and political activities since my childhood, my concern always remains to make people's lives qualitative, happy and prosperous. I tried to reflect people's aspirations in various capacities – as an RSS member, a teacher in the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, a sarpanch, an MLA and an Opposition leader in the state Assembly. In the two-and-half decades, since I came to the Assembly as an MLA in 2000 and became chief minister in 2024, I have dedicated myself to public service by keeping my personal life aside. Now, I bear the responsibility of leading Odisha's development. My journey of over three decades - built on experience, knowledge, and unwavering commitment to public welfare - has shaped my vision. Above all, the BJP's development model and prime minister's leadership have inspired me with new resolutions. On this path, I am not alone - 4.5 crore Odias walk with me. Modi Ji's governance model - Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas - guides our mission. Today, in the gracious presence of Modi Ji, discussion is being held on the development activities undertaken in Odisha in last one year and the Vision 2036 and 2047. I take this opportunity to reiterate our resolve to facilitate that the benefits of development reach the common Odia families, especially women, farmers, youth and the poor, by making them successful in a time-bound manner.
