Mandla(MP):This aged lady from Madhya Pradesh has set herself apart from many other young and old people through her selfless contribution to her village.
A resident of Padmi village in the Mandla district, Diglo Bai donated her life's savings for the construction of a school in her village.
Diglo Bai never went to school or even entered one because of the poor financial condition of her parents, one of the reasons why she valued education so much. She donated an amount of Rs one lakh, which she had saved over years for the construction of the school building.
While talking to ETV Bharat, she said: "In a similar kind of donation that was being collected for the village school in 1996, my husband who was a small farmer, donated 20 thousand rupees. But unfortunately, he died much before the construction of the building could be completed."
It was after her husband's death that Diglo Bai decided to fulfill her husband's dream for which she saved he hard-earned money over the years. She even sold the little piece of land that she had to contribute to this noble cause.
