There’s no end to how much Sonu Sood will do to help people. The Bollywood baddie, who has shown a remarkable humanitarian streak during Covid, is now stepping into the field of education. All during the pandemic Sood distinguished himself by supplying medicines, medical equipment, setting up oxygen plants in several states, helping migrants go home. Which sent his fan following shooting. Now the actor is talking of providing free CA education.
Earlier, the actor helped IAS aspirants with a scholarship called ‘Sambhavam’ for free coaching to all those wanting to give the UPSC exams. Sood had then said, “Karni hai IAS ki tayyari. Hum lenge aapki zimmedari.” Now under his Sood Charity Foundation he intends to help CA aspirants with coaching, internship and job placements. Announcing the initiative yesterday on Instagram, Sood said, “For India’s Economy to grow, we need bright CAs. A small step.”
This effort Sood has undertaken with the Western India Regional Council (WIRC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Battlefield Turfs in India and the media company Media Chutney. It’s called Saksham. Registration can be done on soodcharityfoundation.org. Sood has also collaborated with a university to provide free education to students who lost their parents to COVID-19 and has called on schools and colleges to support such bereaved students. “Together we can set an example and save many families,” Sood had said.
