Daspalla: (Report- Subah Chadra Barik): In a heartwarming story of community support from Odisha, a young girl named Sonali Naik has successfully returned to school after being forced to drop out due to her family's severe financial difficulties. Her situation came to light after a local media report highlighted her mother's long battle with a kidney illness.
The story began in the village of Bidapaju, within the Kulumukumpa Gram Panchayat of Daspalla block. Sabita Naik, the wife of Prahallad Naik, had been suffering from a chronic kidney disease for a long time. The family's struggle and the high cost of medical treatment created a significant financial crisis. This hardship forced their daughter, Sonali, to discontinue her education and drop out of school after the 5th grade.
Fortunately, local media coverage of the family's plight caught the attention of a leading voluntary organization, the Utsarga Foundation Trust. Upon learning about the situation, a team from the trust immediately decided to intervene.
The team, operating under the guidance of its chairman, Priyabrat Acharya, visited the Naik family at their home. The delegation included editor Nihar Ranjan Mahanty and members Chandaneswar Das, Chandra Shekhar Naik, Narayan Sahu, and Vidyadhar Muduli. After speaking with the family and understanding their needs, the team provided them with essential groceries and immediate financial assistance for Sabita's medical needs.
More importantly, the team learned about Sonali's interrupted education. They spoke with her and encouraged her to resume her studies. The Utsarga Foundation Trust made a firm commitment to handle all the necessary arrangements and costs for her re-enrollment. Nihar Ranjan Mahanty and advisory committee member Ratnakar Hota assured the family that the trust would take full responsibility for Sonali's schooling.
Following through on their promise, the trust's representatives proactively coordinated with local education authorities. They held discussions with Daspalla Block Education Officer (BEO) Bhakti Binod Sal and the Additional District Welfare Officer. The team gathered all the required documents for Sonali's admission.
Their efforts culminated in a meeting with Namita Swain, the Headmistress of the Ashram School in Buguda. The trust members explained the family's critical condition and formally requested Sonali's admission. The school administration agreed to support the cause.
As a final and successful outcome, the Utsarga Foundation Trust officially enrolled Sonali Naik in the 6th grade at the Buguda Girls' Ashram School, ensuring her education can continue without further disruption.
This act of timely intervention has drawn commendation from higher authorities. Manjulata Kanhar, the Deputy Mayor of the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC), publicly praised the Utsarga Foundation Trust for its commendable work. The trust has previously earned significant popularity in the local area for undertaking numerous public welfare initiatives, and this latest effort further solidifies its reputation as a force for positive change in the community.
