MYSORE: Sameeulla (31), who has studied up to VIII standard, works as a head loader at Devaraja Market in Mysore. He dreams of making his daughter Noor Afreen, born on April 25, 2006, a doctor. He hopes that Bhagyalakshmi scheme will come in handy for this.
After the birth of the child in K.R. Hospital, the doctor on duty informed him that their daughter was “lucky” as she will get the benefit of Bhagyalakshmi scheme. With the help of the anganawadi worker, they received an insurance bond from LIC in just three months, says Noor Asma, mother of the child.
“I have a son studying in pre-nursery school. I wanted her to study and get educated like him. I learnt that Noor Afreen will get a scholarship till she completes her PUC. But I had decided to allow her to study whatever she wants, even before learning about the scholarship. I was impressed by the doctor, who conducted the delivery, and I dream of making my daughter a doctor. The scheme will help me realise that dream,” she said.
