Anupriya, a young girl from Tamil Nadu's Vizhuppuram, has earned laurels for donating the entirety of her savings – Rs 9,000 – towards the Kerala flood relief fund. The girl had been saving for over four months to buy herself a bicycle.
However, gauging the havoc the incessant rains had wreaked upon the neighbouring state, she decided to donate her savings towards Kerala’s rehabilitation.
Appreciating Anupriya’s gesture, Hero Cycles has stepped forward to fulfill the young girl’s dream. The company tagged Pankaj M Mumjal, Chairman and Managing Director of Hero Motors Company, and promised they would give Anupriya a brand new cycle.
Later, Munjal tweeted saying that Anupriya, "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 contact on my account. Love you and best wishes. Prayers for Kerala," Munjal added.
People on Twitter were all praise for Anupriya; some even saying that they would also like to gift her a bicycle.
