"Had a very touching experience this morning. Pranav, a painter from Alathur, visited me in the legislative office to hand over his contributions to the CMDRF. Pranav expressed happiness over the support given by the government for differently-abled persons," Vijayan tweeted.

The relief fund was set up to support post-flood rehabilitation and rebuilding in Kerala.

Previously, after the devastating 2018 floods in Kerala, Pranav had donated Rs 5,000 for the relief fund at an event in September.

Born without arms, Pranav excels in painting with his foot.
