Kerala: Nurturing a dream of buying herself a cycle one day, little Anupriya used to drop a few coins into her piggy bank religiously. Very little did she know that the money she was collecting was going to serve a large and a greater cause.
When calamity struck God’s Own Country, this little kid proved that children are truly selfless. Without a second thought Anupriya, a resident of Vizhupuram in Tamil Nadu donated Rs 9000 from her piggy bank towards Kerala relief and this great act of Anupriya has bagged her accolades and of course an overwhelming gift as well.
So, what about her cycle? Well, her great act of selflessness has earned her not just one cycle but one cycle every year by none other than Hero Cycles! A tweet on Anupriya and her act had gone viral and one of the many appreciations came from Hero Motors Company Chairman and Managing Director Pankaj Munjal.
“Anupriya, parnam to you. You are a noble soul and wish you spread the good around. Hero is too pleased to give you one bike every year of your life. Pl share your conta ct on my account. Love you and best wishes. Prayers for Kerala. (sic)” the tweet from Munjal read.
Twitter user Ethirajan Srinivasan had shared a newspaper clip about the little girl on August 19. His tweet has since collected over 3,500 ‘likes’ and more than 1,700 retweets.
According to The Hindu, Anupriya had been saving her pocket money and collecting Rs. 5 coins in five piggy banks. Her parents supported her decision by handing her a Demand Draft in favour of the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Hundreds have died and scores of people have been rendered homeless in Kerala after the state witnessed one of the worst floods in a century.
