Long hand of drought in state takes a toll on students in Pune

The poor monsoon and drought conditions in Pune are creating a crisis for students from drought-hit areas. Many of these students come to Pune for better education but struggle with the high cost of living. They live in cramped accommodations, share meals, and cut corners to make ends meet. They face the burden of paying rent and tuition fees, often sacrificing their own meals and basic necessities. The lack of water and failing crops in their hometowns further exacerbate their financial difficulties. Social workers are calling for sponsorship programs to support these students.
