After the viral image of the girl came to his notice, Singh invited Pamei and her family to his residence last month and assured her that he would finance the expenses for her education till she graduates. The photograph showed Pamei taking notes in class while cradling the infant as her parents had to go to the fields for farming.
Moved by Pamei’s battle against the odds, Singh had tweeted saying that officials were immediately directed to trace her family and bring them to the state capital Imphal.
Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan had also shared the girl’s photograph with the caption: “This powerful image represents the aspirations of our children, especially girls. Absolutely in awe of young Meiningsinliu Pamei for her dedication to education and her sheer determination to carve out a better life for herself. My blessings to her.”
