MLA Roopa Kala Sashidhar visited SSLC student Kusuma at her residence and assured her of medical assistance, including arranging advanced robotic legs with the support of the Life Saver Organisation.
Roopa, who visited Kusuma’s house for the fourth time, congratulated her for securing first-class marks in the recently-concluded SSLC examination. Despite severe injuries sustained in an accident, Kusuma attended the examinations on a stretcher.
The MLA praised Kusuma’s determination and appreciated the support provided by her parents and grandparents. She also extended financial assistance and assured continued support in the future.
During the visit, Roopa instructed Life Saver Organisation representative Gowri Shankar to take necessary steps to arrange robotic legs for Kusuma so that she could move comfortably and without pain.
It may be recalled that Kusuma underwent major surgeries following a serious accident but remained determined to complete her examinations successfully. Former Education Minister S Suresh Kumar had earlier visited her residence and extended assistance during her treatment. KGF SP Shivanshu Rajput also provided financial support.
