“Informed family that registration fees will be waived off and will be eligible for scholarships that cover tuition, mess and other charges,” the minister posted on Twitter, replying to a tweet urging the government to help the boys.

As news channels broke the achievements of the two brothers and highlighted the fact that penury may trample their dreams, Akhilesh Yadav announced that the state government will take care of all their education expenses. 
“They have brought laurels to the state. We are always willing to help such bright students. 
"They have set an example for other aspirants and we wish them all the best,” Yadav said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday June 20,2015 also came forward to help the two boys. 
The two politicians decided to extend a helping hand to the brothers after news spread that their poor father who has a family of eight to support cannot raise Rs 1 lakh initially needed for taking admission to the prestigious institution.
