Great initiative but let's be real - 50 girls is a drop in the ocean compared to the lakhs who need help. The real test will be when he implements this at the government level as promised. Still, it's a positive start 👍
So refreshing to see leaders actually walking the talk. Education especially for women in need is the best investment for society. Hats off to SPARSA too for their consistent work. Ma Telangana ki jai! 🙏
Straight from the US here - this is exactly the kind of targeted philanthropy that creates lasting impact. Amala Akkineni's presence adds credibility too. Would love to see a transparent selection process for the beneficiaries.
Before the elections, every politician becomes a 'reformer' with grand announcements. Let's see how many actually complete their education. But yes, credit where due - kudos for using personal funds instead of tax money.
As someone from Telangana, I appreciate this gesture. But we need systemic change in women's safety and job opportunities first. Sponsoring education is good, but what after? Hope there's a complete empowerment plan. 🌸
