Rithika is pursuing B.A. Political Science (Government) at Government College, Rampura, Shimla (Himachal Pradesh). Her father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife. She completed her Class 12 from a Government School in Shimla.
Due to financial difficulties, her family is not in a position to support higher education costs. Despite this, Rithika is determined to continue her studies. With the support of well-wishers and a social worker team from Chennai, she secured admission and received basic learning materials. However, her primary challenge now is sustaining hostel accommodation near the college.

Why hostel fee support is urgent
Rithika’s home is far from the college. Daily travel is difficult, time-consuming, and costly due to distance and limited transport. Therefore, she decided to stay in the college hostel to continue her education without interruption. The hostel fee is ₹2,000 per month, and her family cannot manage this amount regularly.
Mailbox Trust is requesting support from donors to help cover Rithika’s hostel fee so she can continue her degree with stability and dignity.
