Nursing student gets offer of help from RGUHS registrar

Mangaluru: 29.10.2020 

Help came pouring in for 21-year-old Buddana Gowda, a nursing student from Badami taluk in Bagalkot, within hours of a report being published in The Times of India under the headline ‘Nursing student tuns mason to save for fees’ on Wednesday. Many readers have volunteered to lend financial assistance to the young man to help realise his dream.

To fulfil his dream of practising medicine, Gowda is working as a mason in Udupi to save money to pay the fees for his course. Shivanand Kapashi, registrar of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) said: “RGUHS is offering a scholarship for students from this academic year. Though the last date is past, the varsity will consider Gowda’s case as a special one.”

Many TOI readers have reached out to Gowda via email, expressing their wish to help him. TNN
