Harish Rao Mortgages Home for Student's PG Medical Fees, Ensures Education

• Siddipet MLA Harish Rao mortgaged his house to secure a Rs. 20 lakh education loan for a poor PG medical student, Mamatha.
• Mamatha, daughter of a tailor, secured a PG Ophthalmology seat but faced a hefty annual fee of Rs. 7.50 lakhs, with a December 18th deadline.
• When banks required a guarantor for the loan, Harish Rao stepped in, mortgaging his own property.
• He also personally provided Rs. 1 lakh in cash for Mamatha's first-year hostel expenses to prevent further financial burden.
• This act is part of Harish Rao's continuous educational philanthropy, having previously supported Mamatha and her sisters' MBBS education.

Why It Matters: Harish Rao's selfless act of mortgaging his home ensures a poor student's medical education.
