The team facilitated an online application and coordinated with the Circle Officer’s office for urgent processing.The certificate was issued around 4pm. Sonam was informed and uploaded the documents at around 4.30pm, half an hour before the deadline.She is now attending classes at Shivaji College.Alok Narayan Vats, senior deputy collector of Buxar, said timely administrative intervention and coordination could help students overcome bureaucratic hurdles and prevent deserving candidates from losing educational opportunities.“When all avenues seemed closed to me, the DHEW office helped save my dream.
