TSWREIS Students Conquered Mt. Elbrus

I am determined to scale the seven highest mountain peaks in the seven continents of the world, says confident Malavath Poorna after successfully conquering the Europe’s highest mountain peak Mt. Elbrus, Russia. So far, I conquered three highest mountain peaks in the three continents of the world, Mt. Everest in Asia,                Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa and Mt. Elbrus, Europe.

16 year-old Sri Vidya of TSWREI Aleir school successfully scaled the Mt. Elbrus along with Malavath Poorna. “I cannot even describe how difficult the climb was, but I resolved on achieving the impossible against all odds says Sri Vidya. As a mark of tribute, I hoisted the portrait of the Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on the top of the Mt. Elbrus. The Chief Minister sanctioned 53 welfare residential degree colleges for women and men which no other state in India has done before. The Chief Minister gave wings to our dreams and supporting us in a big way to explore new horizons. If not for the residential degree colleges for women, hundreds of my sisters would have been married off by now and would have been trapped in a vicious cycle of gender discrimination and poverty, added Sri Vidya. Thanks to the Chief Minister for liberating the young girls from the most disadvantaged sections of the society.

The 2 member TSWREIS team led by Malavath Poorna began trekking the mountain on July, 24^th, reached the peak (5642mtr) on July 27^th, at 7.30 am Moscow time.               Sri Vidya hails from Nalgonda district and her parents work as daily wage labourers to eke out a living. Malavath Poorna hails from a tribal hamlet in Nizamabad district and currently pursuing undergraduate course at TSWRDC Ibrahimpatnam.

Dr RS Praveen Kumar, Secretary, TSWREIS expressed happiness over the remarkable achievements of the young mountaineers. Our children may be poor, but they  are never poor in energy, enthusiasm and determination.

Dr Kumar thanked the Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and the Minister for Scheduled Caste Development G. Jagadish Reddy for supporting the welfare residential educational institutions in a big way under the KG-PG Mission and the entire country is trying to emulate the Telangana model of welfare educational institutions.

Thanks and Regards
