Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has decided to adopt 22 children who lost either one or both parents in the Pakistani shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir during Operation Sindoor.
The education of these children, many of whom were orphaned in the wake of Pakistani shelling, will be fully funded by Gandhi, with support continuing until they complete their graduation, The Indian Express reported, quoting Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hamid Karra.
He said the first aid instalment will be released this week to ensure the students can continue their schooling without interruption.
