Bhubaneswar: A nine-year-old child living in the Odisha capital has come forward to help corona victims. He has donated money to the government fund from his savings in the piggy bank.
“I saw that my father and mother were donating money to the CM and PM funds. I was inspired by them. I had some money in my piggy bank. I broke the piggy bank to donate my savings to the government to help the COVID-19 affected people,” said Rajveer Das.
“I had saved Rs 2,020. I gave Rs 1,010 to the PM CARES Fund and rest to the CM’s Relief Fund,” he said.
“My parents and grandparents had given that money to me on differen occassions,” he added.
