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.
