Taking note of the imperative – the social responsibility – towards the children of those brave soldiers who gave up their lives battling terrorists in Uri, a Gujarat businessman stepped forward to sponsor the educational and other needs of children of the bravehearts.
The terror attacks in the army camp in the Uri sector of Kashmir valley had claimed lives of 17 soldiers earlier last week and that resulted in mothers losing their sons, women losing their husbands and children losing their fathers.

Mahesh Savani, a social activist and philanthropist of the PP Savani group from Surat offered to sponsor the educational and other needs of the martyrs’ children studying in the schools and colleges.
“I saw a girl of our Indian soldier crying on the television saying that her father had told her to study hard and become successful. At that very moment, I decided to sponsor the children of the martyrs killed in Uri attack,” Savani was quoted by The Times of India.
“Along with education, we will also provide the hostel and other accommodation to the children wanting to study with PP Savani International school,” he added.
He has also offered accommodation to the kids who wanted to relocate for studies.
The philanthropist group has been actively involved in projects that bid to contribute for a better society. The group in the past has organized mass weddings and giving girls who’ve lost their fathers across Gujarat, free education for years now.
