Indian billionaire hires 12 staff to help daughter study at UK university

An unnamed Indian billionaire's daughter is being called the "poshest" student in the UK after her family placed an advertisement seeking staff members to help her during the four years she will be studying at the University of St Andrews.

The billionaire's daughter will have a house manager, three housekeepers, a gardener, a lady's maid and a butler on hand to help her, besides three footmen, a private chef and chauffeur, The Sun reported.


These staff members will be employed at the family's new luxurious mansion, which was bought so that the daughter wouldn't have to stay in general student accommodation.

The billionaire's family had placed an advertisement a few months ago seeking "an outgoing, cheerful" maid with an energetic personality. The maid's work would entail "waking principal up, liaising with other staff regarding routine and schedule (and) assisting with grooming."

The staff will also be responsible for wardrobe management and personal shopping, the job requirement posted by recruitment agency Silver Swan said.

The staff members will be paid around 30,000 pounds a year, reported PTI.

Lancashire warned health pressures ‘not sustainable’ without stronger prevention plan

Highlights

  • Lancashire’s public health chief says rising demand on services cannot continue.
  • New prevention strategy aims to involve entire public sector and local communities.
  • Funding concerns raised as council explores co-investment and partnerships.
Lancashire’s public sector will struggle to cope with rising demand unless more is done to prevent people from falling ill in the first place, the county’s public health director has warned.
Dr. Sakthi Karunanithi told Lancashire County Council’s health and adult services scrutiny committee that poor health levels were placing “not sustainable” pressure on local services, prompting the authority to begin work on a new illness prevention strategy.

The plan, still in its early stages, aims to widen responsibility for preventing ill health beyond the public health department and make it a shared priority across the county council and the wider public sector.

Dr. Karunanithi said the approach must also be a “partnership” with society, supporting people to make healthier choices around smoking, alcohol use, weight and physical activity. He pointed that improving our health is greater than improving the NHS.
