Chandigarh, May 6
Social media was hugely inspired when a photo of a 10-year-old Manipur girl, babysitting his younger brother while attending class, went viral last month. In the viral image, Meiningsinliu Pamei was seen holding her younger brother in her lap while her parents were busy. The photo drew attention of many people who wished to offer monetary help for girl’s education.
Much to the delight of people who wished well for the girl, she has now secured admission into Scopeland Public School, a boarding school in Imphal.
Manipur Power, Forest and Environment Minister Thongam Biswajit Singh also caught site of the viral image and promised to take care of the girl’s education till her graduation. He has now contacted the girl’s family and arranged for her schooling.
“Join me to wish #MeiningsinliuPamei good luck for her future endeavours! As promised, I have arranged her boarding schooling in Slopeland Public School, Imphal. I wish her to come off with flying colours,” the minister tweeted.
