Surat realtor to sponsor education, marriage of martyrs' kids

A city-based realtor today offered to sponsor the education of the children of 25 CRPF and three Indian Army soldiers martyred in Chhattisgarh and Kashmir respectively.
The offer was made by Mahesh Savani, who owns the P P Savani Group.
Apart from financially supporting the education of the martyred soldiers' children, the realtor also came forward to sponsor the marriage of the security personnel killed in Chhattisgarh and Jammu and Kashmir on April 24 and April 27, respectively.
Earlier in September last year, Savani had announced financial support to the children of 19 soldiers martyred in the Uri attack in Kashmir.

"When our soldiers are sacrificing their lives for the country, I feel that the society also needs to pay back by helping their children. I have decided to sponsor the education of the children as well as the marriage of the girls who lost their fathers in battles in Chhattisgarh and Kashmir recently," Savani said.
25 CRPF men were killed in a deadly ambush by Maoists in Chhattisgarh on April 24, while three soldiers were killed in anti-terror operations in Kupwara district of Kashmir yesterday.

"I have already started the process of acquiring details of all these 28 martyrs so that I can deposit money into their bank accounts. I am also approaching schools so that I can deposit the yearly fees of these children directly," the realtor said.

He claimed that the daughter of one of the Uri attack martyrs will be married this Diwali.
"I will be visiting Bihar this Diwali to attend the ceremony. After getting the financial support, many families of these martyrs have enrolled their children in private schools, as they are no longer worried about fees," Savani added.
