Chief Minister brings new hope to the life of Poonam, the young girl who paints with her feet — she will now receive education and scholarship in a special schoolA new ray of hope in the life of Poonam, who creates artwork with her feet

Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai met people arriving from different parts of the state during the Jandarshan program held today at the Chief Minister’s residence and addressed their issues promptly.

At the very beginning of the program, the Chief Minister met 11-year-old Poonam, a resident of Telibandha, Raipur. Poonam’s mother informed Chief Minister Shri Sai that the child is suffering from cerebral palsy and is unable to speak. Despite this challenge, Poonam creates beautiful drawings using her feet.

The Chief Minister interacted with Poonam with great affection and gently blessed her. He reassured Poonam’s mother, saying, “We are with you. You need not worry about anything for your daughter.”

Chief Minister Shri Sai instructed officials to ensure proper arrangements for Poonam’s education by admitting her to a special school and providing her a scholarship.
