346 children orphaned due to Covid to get free education in Lucknow
The City International School and the NGO, DEVI Sansthan, have stepped forward to provide free education to those 346 children of Lucknow who have lost either one or both their parents during the pandemic.
Sunita Gandhi, the founder of the school and the NGO had approached the UP Women and Child Welfare Directorate with an offer to educate the Covid orphans and she has forwarded a list of 346 children who have lost either a breadwinner parent or both parents, or have an income of less than 3 lakh per annum as decided under the UP Mukhya Mantri Bal Vikas Yojana.
She said that the children would not only study but also stay in the care of the school where she has set up a residential section for these children. These are children who would have otherwise been accommodated in the Rajkiya Bal Graha.
