Patna, Bihar : A touching video of a differently-abled girl from Bihar’s Gopalganj district has been widely shared on social media, drawing attention to her daily struggle to reach school.
Struggle to Reach School
The girl, a resident of Ramnagar village in Gopalganj, reportedly travels nearly two kilometers every day to attend school. The viral video shows her facing serious physical challenges while trying to continue her education.
According to local reports, the girl lost her father some time ago. Her mother now supports the family by working as a daily wage laborer. Despite the financial hardship, the child remains determined to continue her studies.
Request for Wheelchair Still Pending
It has been reported that the girl had applied for assistance in the form of a wheelchair or tricycle. However, she has not yet received any help from the administration, leaving her to manage the difficult journey on her own.
Maithili Thakur Steps In
The video eventually caught the attention of Maithili Thakur, a well-known folk singer and BJP MLA from Alinagar. After seeing the clip, she shared a post on the social media platform X asking people to provide the girl’s details.
In her post, Thakur requested the child’s name, address, and contact information so that she could personally help arrange support for her.
Social Media Applauds the Initiative
Many users online praised Thakur’s response, calling it a compassionate gesture. Several people also expressed hope that the girl would soon receive the assistance she needs to continue her education without facing such hardships.
The incident has once again highlighted the challenges faced by children with disabilities in rural areas and the urgent need for timely support from authorities.
