Sonu Sood has been in news for all good deeds he has done till date, though he has been criticized at times, he has not left his habit of serving the people. Recently, the news doing rounds is the kind hearted man has now assured to pay the online classes fees of a Himalayan man’s son who had to sell his cow to pay for son’s classes.
A recent incident that melted his heart was when he learned a poor father from Himachal Pradesh had to sell his cow, a substantial source of income, to buy a smartphone so that their two children could stay connected with online studies amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
His daughter and son are studying in Class IV and Class II, respectively, in a government school meant to serve the economically weaker section students, who are entitled to free education.
As the schools across the state started online classes in the wake of the pandemic, his children do not have a smartphone or internet connection to keep up with online learning.
“I purchased a smartphone for the children to continue the study,” Kumar, from whom the Right to Education Act holds no relevance, the poor father said.
“I was feeling bad that I could not afford a device for my children so that they could attend online classes.
“So I decided to sell one of my cows for Rs 6,000,” an emotional father said.
He earns his livelihood by selling milk and his wife is a daily-wage earner.
Before parting with the cow, the father and his family knocked on banks and private lenders to get a loan to buy a smartphone.
Sonu Sood shared a clip of the story and offered to help get the cows back, and asked for contact details on Twitter.
