Meiningsinliu Pamei -- a 10-year-old girl in Manipur, goes to school while babysitting her sister in lap. A photograph and a video of Pamei -- a student of Class 4, attending classes while babysitting her sister went viral on the social media, drawing the attention of Manipur Power, Forest and Environment Minister Th. Biswajit Singh.

Promising to support the girl, the minister tweeted: "Her dedication for education is what left me amazed ! This 10-year-old girl named Meiningsinliu Pamei from Tamenglong, Manipur attends school babysitting her sister, as her parents were out for farming and studies while keeping her younger sister in her lap."

In a bid to extend support to Pamei, he contacted the girl's relatives and asked them to bring her to Imphal for a meeting with him.

"As soon as I noticed this news on social media, we traced her family and asked them to bring her to Imphal. Spoke to her family that I will personally take care of her education till she graduates. Proud of her dedication!" Singh, who also holds the Agriculture, Science and Technology department, said in another tweet.

Pamei's family resides in Tamenglong district in northern Manipur.
