The family of 17-year-old Anitha, who got 98.75% in state board medical marks who killed herself last week after failing to get admission to a medical college, has rejected the Tamil Nadu government's offer of seven lakh rupees in financial aid.

Anitha was the daughter of a poor, Dalit daily-wage labourer, whose dream was to be a doctor. She top marks did not get her admission to medical college.

"Anitha died to get exemption from NEET and not for any government aid," Anitha's brother Mani Ratnam said, turning away G Laxmi Priya the district collector of the state's Ariyalur, who visited the family to hand over a cheque.

But the Supreme Court ordered last month that admissions in Tamil Nadu would be based not on Class 12 marks but on NEET, the national common entrance exam, which Anitha could not crack.

She had pleaded before the Supreme Court that poor students like her who lived in villages could not afford private coaching classes that richer students in cities could, giving them an advantage in the competitive exam.

Tamilnadu witnessing protests across the state since Friday, when Anitha hanged herself. Amid huge public anger, activists and political rivals have accused both the E Palaniswami government of the AIADMK in the state and the BJP government at the Centre of letting down the state's students.

Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who belongs to Tamil Nadu, had promised the Centre's support for an Ordinance or executive order to exempt the state from NEET for a year, but in court, the Attorney General said the Centre could not back the move.

DMK leader MK Stalin has promised to take forward the fight against NEET. Also DMK given rupees 10 lakhs aid to anitha family by M.K Stalin in person after paying last respects to Student Anitha.

Actor Kamal Haasan, said on Sunday, "It's a freedom struggle. We have to unite.

BJP state unit chief Tamilisai Sounderrajan tweet, "Anitha's Sucide a political Conspiracy against BJP Modi baiters warned against their uncivilized protest against PM. Don't test our tolerance" drew ire form public and she been trolled by micro bloggers at large.

DMK Government during 2008 not just had abolished an entrance exam, granting admission to medical courses based on Class 12 state board marks, but later given Quota and grace mark for village Students saying it allowed students from villages and small towns to enter medical colleges too.

Tamil Nadu Protestors asking how come a competing body CBSE can conduct NEET Exams that find no answers.
