Thiruvarur: Gunasekaran and Jayanthi live in Thiru.vi.ka Nagar in Pavithramanikkam village near Thiruvarur in Tamil Nadu. They have a son and a daughter, Rakshita.
Gunasekaran had admitted Rakshita in the first standard at the government school in Pavithramanikkam.
However, Rakshita told her father that she wanted to study at the Kendriya Vidyalaya School, Nagakudi in Thiruvarur functioning under the Central Human Resource Development Ministry.
Gunasekaran, who wanted to fulfil Rakshita's wish, took Prime Minister Modi's email on the website and mailed his child's wish to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2015.
In the absence of any response, he sent the email again. Prime Minister Modi responded to the third email sent in February 2016, which astonished the girl's family.
An email had also been sent to the Kendriya Vidyalaya school administration asking to fulfil the girl student's desire.
The school administration admitted the student Rakshita in the second class and accepted the order as mentioned in the mail that the student be exempted from the monthly fee.
Gunasekaran expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Modi by naming his daughter as Modi Rakshita and worshipping Modi with a photo placed in the prayer room of his house.
"My father works in a co-operative bank as a temporary employee. My mother works as a tailor. After telling my wish to my father, on his suggestion, I sent an email to the Prime Minister. I also expressed my desire through a letter. I was very elated to receive a reply by email two months later," said Rakshita.
"I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Modi. There are students like me hailing from poor families in Tamil Nadu. Prime Minister Modi should help them too. My school administration put me out of the classroom when I failed to pay my monthly fees and let me in once the letter is received from the Prime Minister’s Office. I plead the help of Prime Minister Modi to study till the 12th standard without fees," She added.
She also wants to meet Prime Minister Modi at least once and said that she would like to become an income tax officer in future.
"For the past 3 years, my daughter is studying in the Kendriya Vidyalaya School which comes under the HRD minister under the Prime Minister. When we approached the school for a seat to be chosen by draw but we did not get it. We immediately wrote a mail to Prime Minister Modi asking him to give an opportunity for my daughter to study. He acted magnanimously and has given an order in effect to that. My daughter is studying for the last 3-4 years. For us, PM Narendra Modi is like a God, said Gunasekaran.
