She studies in Class 5.When State Legislative Assembly former Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary came to know about it, he brought the couple along with their daughter to Pragathi Bhavan on Sunday.

Rao blessed the couple and named their nine-year-old daughter Mahati. The Chief Minister and his wife offered presents to the couple and hosted them in a traditional manner. The CM also provided financial assistance for the girl’s education. The couple expressed their gratitude to the CM.
