Tribal Welfare Students from PVTGs on top of 18,200 feet Mountain
I never imagined that I would go to college and went on to become a mountaineer, said Ms. Maheshwari from Tribal Welfare Residential junior college, Hayath Nagar. I would have ended up as a victim of early child marriage, if not for tribal welfare residential schools and colleges. I felt very proud that I hoisted the Indian flag on the top of the 18,200 feet Lakpakanchy mountain in Sikkim, said Maheswari with tears rolling down on her cheeks. Unfurling the Indian tricolour is a great honour and privilege which I can’t express in words, she added. I got inspired by Malavath Poorna’s expedition to Mt. Everest, Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Elbrus” and she is a role model for millions of poor tribal grils like me” says Maheshwari.
12 students hailing from Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)  travelled a long way from remote tribal hamlets in Adilabad  to the top of the Lakpakanchy mountain peak in Sikkim. The successful conquest of the mountain by the students from Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Gurukulam Institutions is a compelling story of grit and never give up attitude in the face of abject poverty.  The 12 member team consisting of 4 girls and 8 boys conquered the mountain on Friday and they created a history of sorts by being first contingent of students from the primitive tribal communities from Telangana state.
