Sushma Swaraj meets Pakistani refugee Madhu, helps her get admission into school

A day after India Today reported the plight of a 16-year-old Pakistani refugee's struggle for education, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met Madhu and assured her of all possible help.

"I thanked Sushma ma'am, she called the Delhi Chief Minister in my presence and assured me that I will get admission soon. She said now you're my responsibility, don't worry," Madhu told

Madhu's Story

When Madhu left Pakistan two years ago, she was a student of class 9th. Back in Delhi, she wanted to continue her studies from where she had left. However, a government school refused to enroll her.

The school authorities said her documents were incomplete. What they did not know was that in a dire state to leave Pakistan, all her necessary documents were left behind.

After knowing her story, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj reached out to Madhu and promised her secure education.

She called Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in regards to Madhu's admission. Kejriwal too assured the Minister that he would secure Madhu's admission.

The 16-year-old Madhu could not have been happier. Her dreams of studying further would finally be true.
