Student gifts thread-art portrait to Jagga Reddy, seeks help to resume studies
A student named Bhavani created a thread-art portrait of Congress leader T. Jagga Reddy to gain his attention regarding a long-standing land dispute. The intervention of the politician aims to help her resolve the legal issue so she can resume her ACCA studies.
Why it matters
It highlights the intersection of personal struggle, local political influence, and the barriers to education caused by bureaucratic land disputes in India.
A 10-day effort to create a thread-art portrait of Congress leader T. Jagga Reddy helped a student from Kappad village in Sangareddy district seek his intervention in resolving a long-pending land dispute that has forced her to put her studies on hold.
Bhavani, a former student of a Model School, is pursuing the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) course and has already completed its first level. However, financial difficulties kept her away from studies for the past six months.
Her family owns 2.5 acres of land, but a dispute over the property has remained unresolved with the revenue authorities for the past 12 years. The inability to sell the property has aggravated their financial difficulties.
With her father suggesting that she discontinue her studies due to the family’s financial condition, Bhavani was determined to find a way to resume her education.
