Actor Allu Arjun sponsors 4-Year course For Aspiring Nurses
Teja disclosed that the young student was trying to pay her college fees
Recently, Alappuzha district collector VR Krishna Teja IAS revealed that actor Allu Arjun supported an aspiring nurse with her college fees. Teja disclosed that the young student was trying to pay her college fees, especially after the impact Covid had on her family, and reached out to the Telugu superstar for help.
Pushpa actor offered to cover her college fees and also chose to cover her whole course fees. The girl is now a student at St Thomas College of Nursing, Kattanam. As translated by The Indian Express, ‘A few days ago, I was approached by a girl from Alappuzha, who said that despite scoring 92% in her plus two exams, she was unable to pursue higher studies. The girl has been facing a lot of hardships since her father passed away due to Covid-19 complications in 2021. I saw hope and confidence in the girl’s eyes. So, we decided to ensure her all assistance as part of the We Are For Alleppey project.’
The girl further said she wished to become a nurse. Since the time had passed for a merit seat application, we contacted several colleagues looking for a management seat. Finally, we secured admission to St Thomas College of Nursing, Kattanam. The second obstacle was finding a person who could sponsor her studies. I called our favorite movie actor Allu Arjun for the purpose and as soon as he heard the matter, he agreed to meet the entire expense of studies, including the hostel fees, for four years instead of one year.
The other day I took the girl to the college to get admission. I am sure that she will study well and become a nurse in the future who will take care of her mother and brother and will do good for society. I thank the management of St Thomas College, Allu Arjun, and all those behind the We Are For Alleppey project for helping the girl pursue her higher studies.’
Currently, Allu Arjun is busy with the making of Pushpa 2.
