Ullapi and Subham are kids of Pradyumna Mishra staying in Talcher. Ullapi is a student of class VI while Subham studies in class one. The brother-sister duo has been saving their pocket money provided by their dad for the last few years. They also saved cash gifts they received from their relatives on their birthdays and on other occasions.
Both Ullapi and Subham were seeing everyday on TV the plight of the poor in the hard times of coronavirus and lockdown. They decided to donate the entire amounts they had saved in their piggy banks. They informed this to their dad who in turn conveyed the news to the Talcher Sub-Collector Rajani Kanta Swain.
Saturday both Ullapi and Subham were invited to the block office in Talcher. The two presented the amount to the Sub-Collector there for the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Both appeared very happy while donating the amount. They also requested the Talcher Sub-Collector to use the money for providing medical treatment and food to the poor.
Locals lauded the efforts of Ullapi and Subham. They praised the kids and said such acts will bring awareness among seniors about the importance of making contributions to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
