He’s merely eight years old, but that didn’t stop him from paying a touching tribute to the Indian Army. A little boy, hailing from Karur, Tamil Nadu, recently hit headlines for donating his savings, which he had accumulated over 10 months, to the Armed Forces.
Saving for a Purpose, Giving with a Mission
For the past ten months, the young child had been quietly setting aside his allowance and collecting small amounts from family members, all with a purpose far bigger than himself. The total wasn’t large by monetary standards, but it was filled with purpose, emotion, and dedication. What moved him deeply was learning about the Indian soldiers’ bravery and relentless sacrifice in protecting India’s borders. His young heart, stirred by these stories of courage, found only one way to express his respect — by donating everything he had saved.
A Personal Delivery of Patriotism
The boy didn’t rely on others to make the donation on his behalf. He carried his small money bank — uniquely shaped like a miniature water tank — to the Karur District Collector’s office, filled with rupee notes and coins. There, he personally handed it over as a token of gratitude to the country’s protectors. The district collector, moved by the heartfelt gesture, publicly applauded the young donor for his selfless act and the thoughtful motivation behind it.
In His Own Words: Why He Gave It All
In a video clip broadcast by a local news outlet, the child explained the inspiration behind his actions. He said, “I study in the second standard. I saved all my money to give to the army soldiers because I want to help those who protect us.” His innocent yet profound words reflected a deep sense of empathy rarely seen in someone so young.
A Wave of Admiration Online
The video was shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Sandeep Yadav, and it quickly went viral. Social media was flooded with admiration. One user commented, “Such a precious young child, gifted with extraordinary common sense and generosity. Hope his mind stays this way forever despite the toxic media in TN. Lots of love and wishes to this amazing kid.”
Another wrote, “It’s not the amount, but the intent that counts. This young boy has made his parents and the nation proud.”
“No matter how much he has donated, I appreciate his ideology and his efforts. He made his parents proud at a very young age,” another observed. Another wrote, “Great step by the lovely child. He is an inspiration for others to follow.”
