If selflessness had a face, it would have looked like Padma Shri Awardee, late Shri Prakash Rao - An incredible chaiwala who invested half of his income in setting up a school in the slum of Cuttack, Odisha to give free education and food to slum children.
Prakash Rao had been selling tea from the age of 7, and had always yearned to complete his education. Every day he would see slum kids either begging on the streets or getting caught stealing. These children were often used in child labour, with parents preferring to get an income from them instead of enrolling them in schools.
Prakash Rao wanted to give these children a chance to change the trajectory of their life with education. With this aim, he started "Asha Ashawasana" - a school that has educated hundreds of kids, and transformed their lives.
Prakash Rao, has and always been an inspiration. It is our honour to share his story.
It begins with a cause and the will to serve goodness unto others. Driven by similar cause to share the good, Mr. Anoop Khanna started Dadi Ki Rasoi in Noida to serve up nutritious and healthy food, nominally priced at ₹5. Mr. Anoop, along with his family's support feeds hundreds of people for two hours every day and is backed by a closely-knit circle of vendors who offer their vegetables and resources at a subsidized rate.
There is no better example of how charity begins at home than the story of Minu Pauline. Her small step went on to become the source of dignity and love for so many others. By putting up a fridge outside her restaurant for those in need of a square meal and filling it with left over food, Minu touched lives around her. We salute her act of goodness.

#PearlsOfIndia
Watch Now!
Sometimes far above the hills, sometimes amidst the hustle-bustle of the city and sometimes from the remotest of villages. There are little acts of goodness that gleam bright from all across India. Acts of complete selflessness, that often times, leave us spell-bound. We bring for you many such tales of goodness, right from the hinterlands of India.
Kyunki Achchai kahin se bhi chamak sakti hai!
