A video that has gone viral on the internet shows a blogger helping a 75-year-old woman who works as a ragpicker to start a new life as a vegetable seller. This caught the attention of Awanish Sharan, an employee of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), who often shares motivational messages on his official Twitter handle.
In his recent post on the social media platform, Mr Sharan shared the same and captioned the post as “Humanity”.
The 90-second clip, originally posted to Instagram on August 3 by blogger Tarun Mishra, shows the woman picking garbage from a dump. She tells the blogger that she is selling it in exchange for some money. Mishra sees her plight and helps her start a new business as a vegetable seller. He visits her at home and later takes her to a market. He helps the elderly woman buy a cart, weighing machine and vegetables to start the business. The blogger even buys her groceries to meet her daily needs at home.
Here is the video posted by Mr Sharan:
