The state’s social welfare department will cover all costs through its scholarship program. Atul Kumar, whose father works as a daily wage laborer, had been accepted into the Electronics Engineering program at IIT Dhanbad but was unable to pay the tuition fees due on June 24. Following the family’s appeal to the Supreme Court, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath intervened.
Social Welfare Minister Asim Arun confirmed that the government will fully fund Atul’s education. The government has also coordinated with IIT Dhanbad to finalize the admission process, ensuring that Kumar’s educational journey remains uninterrupted.
