A video of a young child making rolls on a roadside food cart has been posted online by Anand Mahindra, the chairman of the Mahindra Group.
The 10-year-old Jaspreet is shown in the video rolling an egg. The boy revealed that brain tuberculosis was the cause of his father’s recent death when questioned. The boy, who also has a sister who is 14 years old, claimed that their mother abandoned them and would not accept responsibility. Jaspreet continues to operate his food cart in the evenings and attend school in the mornings despite these obstacles.
The little boy not only sells egg rolls but also chicken, kebab, paneer, chowmein, and seekh kebab rolls.
Sharing the clip, Mr Mahindra asked for the boy’s contact details. He wrote, “Courage, thy name is Jaspreet. But his education shouldn’t suffer. I believe, he’s in Tilak Nagar, Delhi. If anyone has access to his contact number please do share it. The Mahindra foundation team will explore how we can support his education.”

Commenting on the post, many people applauded Jaspreet’s courage and appreciated Mr Mahindra for his kind gesture.
A user wrote, “He is not giving up… this kid has decided to take up the responsibility & stand up for self…His courage is inspiring which is pushing him (to) stand during odd times…Salute to him… with right guidance in terms of education he will create many milestones…”
Another added, “Jaspreet is fearless! Education is crucial. It’s great that the Mahindra foundation is stepping in to support his education.”
“It just made me cry. I really Hope Anand Ji will reach out to this Brave Boy and Help in every Possible Way. You can also raise Crowd Funding to help this Boy. After the Help i want this Boy to Ignore his Mom if she comes back for money,” read a comment.
It’s not the first time Anand Mahindra has extended help to a child. Previously, a young girl heroically saved her little sister from monkeys that had entered their home. Soon after, the business mogul shared a post expressing his admiration and offered her a job at the Mahindra Group when she grows up.
