The financial situation may not be good, but Taimmal ji spared nothing to educate his son and daughter.His children studied at Chinnaveerampatti Panchayat Union Middle School.One day during the meeting with the parents of the school, it was raised that the condition of the classrooms and the school school needed to be improved; school infrastructure needs to be repaired. Taimmal ji was also present at this meeting. He heard everything,” Prime Minister Modi said while addressing Mann Ki Baat today.
“During the same meeting, the discussion again stopped on the lack of money for this work. After that, no one could have imagined what Taimmal did. Taimmal ji, who had accumulated some capital by selling coconut water, donated one lakh rupees to the school,” the prime minister said.
