This auto driver gives free rides to children and pregnant women
Karuppusamy, a 25-year-old auto driver from Coimbatore, is making quite a name for himself. Someone who cares more about helping others than about fulfilling materialistic desires, he gives free rides to children and pregnant women.
Even though he doesn't earn a lot and cannot really afford to be giving away free rides, he extends a helping hand where he can.
Although the financial situation at home wasn't good, he was adamant about completing his education and did his graduation and post graduation in Tamil literature on a government scholarship. Financial constraints were the only reason he couldn't pursue an MPhil. Not wanting to become a victim to circumstances, he found an alternative that would make him happy.
With the help of his relatives and friends, he bought a secondhand auto rickshaw to earn money and one day, pursue his dreams. Somewhere along the way, he realised that he could do his bit for society and began offering free rides to pregnant women and school children. Though he finds it hard to make ends meet, he asserts that he will never let that stand in the way of his noble initiative.
This generous man has become popular on social media and is now a local hero. An auto journey with him was telecast on ANI News Channel. Here is the video.
