Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant has made a wonderful gesture by sponsoring the higher education of a youngster from a financially disadvantaged family in Karnataka’s Bagalkot region.
Pant, who has represented India in all formats, personally supported the education of Jyoti Kanabur Math, a Rakbai village native in Bilagi taluk. Jyoti received 85% in her Pre-University Course (PUC) and was accepted for a Bachelor’s in Computer Application (BCA) at the Bijapur Lingayat Education Institution in Jamkhandi. However, her family struggled to pay the payments.
When her father, Teerthayya Kanabur Math, was unable to arrange the required 40,000, the family went to a local well-wisher named Anil, who contacted his cricketing network in Bengaluru. The word eventually reached Pant, who swiftly paid the funds directly to the college, allowing Jyoti to continue her education uninterrupted.
Jyoti and the college administration wrote a sincere letter of gratitude to Pant. In her note, Jyoti expressed her heartfelt gratitude and stated her desire to pass the generosity forward in the future.
Jyoti’s letter to Rishabh Pant
“Namaste everyone, my name is Jyotika. My father’s name is Teertaiya and my mother’s name is Roopa. I stay in Rabkavi village in Jamkhandi. I completed my SSLC in a school in Belagavi and my PUC from a college in Belagavi. I wanted to pursue BCA, but due to financial problems, my parents approached Anil, a person from our village, to ask if there was any scholarship or financial help available. Anil then contacted his friend Akshay, who lives in Bangalore,” Jyoti wrote as quoted by India Today.
“Akshay brought my situation to the attention of Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant transferred 40,000 so that I could pursue my BCA. I am very thankful to Rishabh Pant and pray to God to bless him with good health. I’m also grateful to Anil Anna and Akshay Naik sir. I will never forget their help. I want to become a software engineer and will make the best use of this opportunity. I also want to say: save the girl child and empower the girl child. Lastly, after becoming a software engineer, I will also help poor children,” she added.
