Divya, a resident of interior Almaspur village of Yellareddypet mandal said that, “it is indeed a dream come true. I never expected to study in corporate college because of my poverty. But, thanks to the government, I could secure admission in the corporate college and I would definitely fulfil my dream of securing an engineer seat, she said with tears in her eyes.
On Sunday, all the selected students had arrived at the Karimnagar Collectorate and the district administration had made arrangements for the shifting of the students to the Narayana Junior College in Hyderabad.
