C. Vinay, a differently abled student from Shankarpura in Nanjangud, has received a battery-operated tricycle from donors, enabling him to continue his higher education without hurdles.
Vinay, who is paralysed in his lower body and cannot use one hand, had completed his PU education at the Government Boys PU College in Nanjangud with good marks. However, pursuing a degree seemed impossible, as the college is far, and he relied on his mother to take him to classes daily on a manual tricycle.
Recently, when Vinay visited the college to collect his marks card, principal C.R. Dinesh came to know about his difficulties. The principal contacted a battery-operated tricycle company in Bengaluru and sought support from Lions Club ambassadors and other well-wishers. The donors then raised ₹45,000 to purchase the vehicle.
At a ceremony held in the college, the tricycle was handed over to Vinay in the presence of teachers and students.
