The State government’s flagship Gruha Lakshmi scheme has emerged as a source of financial security for poor and middle-class families, and the achievement of talented Mysuru student Madhuri R. stands testimony to its positive impact.

Madhuri R. secured an exceptional 624 marks out of 625 in the 2026 SSLC examination, earning appreciation for her remarkable performance. Along with the family’s hard work and dedication, support received under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme also played an important role in her success, according to authorities.

Madhuri’s mother is a beneficiary of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme and utilised the financial assistance provided by the government towards her daughter’s educational needs. The family’s story has become an example of how government welfare schemes can bring meaningful social change when they reach deserving beneficiaries.

Following the directions of Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar, officials from the Women and Child Development Department in Mysuru visited Madhuri’s residence on Friday, distributed sweets, and congratulated the student on her achievement.

In her message, Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar said, “When government schemes reach eligible beneficiaries, such extraordinary achievements become possible. Madhuri R.’s accomplishment should inspire other students as well. Heartfelt congratulations to the student and her parents on behalf of the department.”
