This is a wonderful incident that happened last week in Chennai (Tamil Nadu, India) which was shared by one of my friend Sabari in his Facebook page (Link provided below for reference). Also the article got featured in The Hindu Newspaper(10th Aug).
On 8th. Aug. 2015, around 6.30 am, an uneducated single mother with her daughter were in Anna University Campus Chennai, looking for direction to Anna Arangam for her daughter’s counseling in B.Sc. Agriculture which was scheduled at 8.30 am.
The mother, a farmer tending cattle, and the girl were from a small village near Trichy. Due to some misguidance, they did not know that the counselling was at Agriculture University in Coimbatore. Luckily for the girl, some early morning walkers turned up who informed her that she was to be in Coimbatore rather than Chennai.
The girl had scored 1017/1200 though suffering from illness during the +2 exams, and had somehow got misguided to attend interview at Chennai.
Thankfully, one of the walkers offered to sponsor to send both of them by flight immediately to Coimbatore. Other walkers pitched in – they asked friends/ contacts to inform the Registrar about the case. By 7.50 am it was agreed to look into the case. Meanwhile breakfast was provided to the mother and daughter.
The sponsor of the flight tickets transported them to the airport by 8.15 am to board the 10.05 am flight to Coimbatore. Arrangements were made to pick them up from Coimbatore airport at 11.40 am by car. They reached the University counselling venue by 12.15 pm.
The Registrar had made an arrangement to ensure that the candidate got fair counselling. Through the counselling the candidate was offered
B.Sc. Bio-Technology in TNAU – Coimbatore at 2.00 pm the same day.
Miracles do happen in our daily life.
Saravanan (SAROV) 84 batch ECE and his friends, Mr.Paramasivam, Mr.Jaisankar are those who helped that girl.
Girl’s name is Swathi, and her mom (Thangaponnu) is a shepherd and her father is not alive.
The below photo was taken by Jaisankar.
These people did not stop there. They called up Thangaponnu to confirm if they had secured the admission. “It was very kind of them to do so. They came around like an angel when we had lost hope,” Swathi said.
After getting the seat and back in their hometown in Musiri, the mother-daughter are now planning to visit Chennai again. “We want to return the money they spent to buy our flight tickets. How else can we say thank them,” Ms. Thangaponnu said.
