In a heartwarming display of patriotism, an 8-year-old boy from Karur, Tamil Nadu, has captured the nation’s admiration by donating his 10-month savings to the Indian Army. The second-grade student, studying at a government school, personally handed over his savings—collected in a tank-shaped money bank—to the Karur District Collector’s office, earning widespread praise for his selfless gesture.
The young boy, identified as Dhanvish, had been diligently setting aside his pocket money and small contributions from family members over the past 10 months. Inspired by stories of the Indian Army’s bravery, particularly during the recent ‘Operation Sindoor’ following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, Dhanvish decided to contribute to the soldiers protecting the nation. “I study in the second standard. I saved all my money to give to the army soldiers because I want to help those who protect us,” he told reporters, his innocent words resonating deeply across the country.
The District Collector commended Dhanvish’s act, highlighting the profound sentiment behind the modest sum, which consisted of coins and notes. The boy’s gesture, driven by gratitude for the armed forces, has sparked an outpouring of appreciation on social media, with users calling him a “true patriot” and crediting his parents for instilling values of generosity and national pride. One commenter noted, “This child’s heart is bigger than his savings. He’s an inspiration for all ages.”
Dhanvish’s story comes amidst heightened national sentiment following India’s military response to cross-border terrorism. His donation, though small in monetary terms, symbolizes a powerful salute to the sacrifices of Indian soldiers. Local leaders, including Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran, hailed the act as a testament to the patriotic spirit of the state’s youth.
The boy’s parents expressed pride in their son’s initiative, noting that their family has a tradition of helping those in need. Dhanvish’s act has not only touched hearts but also sparked conversations about fostering patriotism and empathy in young minds, with many calling for his story to be shared in schools as an example of selfless service.
