Harish Rao mortgages his Siddipet home to help PG medical student

In a rare gesture by a politician, Former Minister T Harish Rao has decided to mortgage his own house in Siddipet to help a PG medical student to get an educational loan.

Harish Rao took the decision after the girl and her father approached him seeking his help in Siddipet recently. 

The girl Konka Mamatha, who has completed her MBBS from Siddhartha Medical College in Vijayawada, has got PG (Ophthalmology) in SVS Medical College located in Mahabubnagar.

Since she needs to pay Rs 7.50 lakh per annum tuition



for three consecutive years, Mamatha along with her father Ramachandram, who was working as a tailor in Siddipet, approached a bank. 

However, the bank management had asked the girl to mortgage some property to accept her application.

Since the family owned no properties, they approached Harish Rao seeking his help. The girl actually would need to pay the tuition fee before December 18. 

After talking to the bank management, Rao mortgaged his own house in Siddipet and helped the girl to get Rs 20 lakhs loan.
