BENGALURU: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has helped a 21-year old woman from Karnataka get an education loan of Rs 1.5 lakh to complete her MBA course.
Bibi Sara, who resides in Mandya, some 98 kms from here, had been granted the loan under the central government’s “Beti Bachao, Beti Pdahao” scheme.
She had written a letter to Modi, seeking financial help.
Praising Prime Minister’s efforts, Sara said she was sure Modi would respond to her letter and provide financial help.
“I did not expect the Prime Minister would respond in ten days. Inspite of being a central leader, Modi is attached to all sections of the society and comes to the rescue of people in need,” she said.

“I had also submitted relevant documents including the pan card, but after four months, my loan application was rejected,” she said. Meanwhile, the PMO has directed Karnataka Chief Secretary to inquire why the bank denied the loan.
