A 72-year-old widow Sukhmati Manikpuri made headlines last year for donating one quintal of rice, around a dozen sarees and some cash to the needy people. Reason? She said she understood hunger pangs and wants to reach out to as many people as possible during COVID time.

“I understand the hunger pangs. I began begging more to arrange whatever possible for these needy and helpless people. No one should sleep hungry.”
