Congress President Sonia Gandhi had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging the government to provide free education to children who lost either both parents or an earning parent to COVID-19.
“Amidst the devastation caused by the pandemic and the heart-wrenching tragedies being faced by affected families, news of young children losing one or both parents to COVID-19 are the most poignant. These children are left with the trauma of loss and no support towards a stable education or future,” Sonia said in the letter sent today.
“I am writing to request you to consider providing free education at the Navodaya Vidhyalayas to children who have lost either both parents or an earning parent on account of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Congress President said, adding: “I feel that as a nation, we owe it to them to give them hope for a robust future after the unimaginable tragedy that has befallen them,” Congress leader added.”
