HYDERABAD: As many as 190 Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) students created history by securing MBBS seats in the recently concluded first round of medical counselling.
The social welfare society said that this was a big milestone for them as never before had such a large number of first-generation learners from humble family backgrounds made it to medical colleges. “TSWREIS has sent 513 marginalised students to medical colleges in the last six years, which is a remarkable achievement in itself,” TSWREIS secretary Ronald Rose said, adding that the credit goes to the state government for sanctioning funds for NEET coaching to help poor students fight their way out of poverty. B Saani from Gowlidoddi college, whose father is a sanitation worker and mother a labourer, said that if not for free NEET coaching he wouldn’t have dreamt of preparing for exam.
