A 10-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri, a student of class 5, lives with her elderly grandparents after her mother died and her father married someone else. Lovely suffers from physical disabilities and the story of the hardships she faces was shared on the social media platform X.

Adani Group Founder and Chairman, Gautam Adani, has announced that the Adani Foundation, the community engagement arm of the Adani Group, will support the girl and provide her with better treatment.

Mr Adani reacted to the social media post and praised the efforts her grandparents are making toward her education and said, "It is sad that a daughter's childhood is taken away like this. The struggle of Lovely and her grandparents at such a young age shows that a typical Indian family never gives up."
