When we came to know about the students in Morni (Haryana) travelling miles to access a smartphone, we were taken aback and could not wait to help these kids. We hope that this minuscule endeavor of ours will go a long way in enabling the students and schools to continue uninterrupted learning. We will try our best to target more such children across cities.” Praising Karan for this noble gesture, Sonu said: “Educating the youth and preparing them for the future is our primary responsibility. I am happy that we could do our bit to help these students. I truly value Karan’s contribution in coming forward to support and encourage these children in pursuing their online education. He has been a great pillar of strength for me and needs a special mention for his selfless contribution during the crisis.” publive-imageThe principal of the Government Senior Secondary School, Pawan Jain, Koti (Morni),  said, “There are about 190 students in the school and close to 20 per cent do not have a smartphone. In these trying times, parents have no funds to purchase a smartphone for the children. It is heartening to see how Sonu Sood and Karan Gilhotra have come forward to support these students. We sincerely thank both Sonu Sood and Karan Gilhotra on behalf of the school, parents and the Department of School Education (Haryana).” Also Read | Olympics Boxer Simranjit Kaur: Punjab government has money for TikTokers, but not for us Karan was also awarded state honours as a Corona warrior by the Governor of Punjab and Chandigarh Administration for his contribution to humanity during COVID. -PTC News-
