This is one of the stories that makes you think why your day-long work at the office had been never recognized. A self-less service along with the determination made Venkatraman script his own success story. A simple person with no background is an inspiration today.
The restaurant named Shri AMV Homely Mess run by Venkatraman serves lunch for only one rupee to the patients admitted at the hospital nearby.
Venkatraman runs this hotel in a rural area which is about 15 kilometres from Erode, a sub-urb in Tamilnadu. This hotel has been catering its service to its locality for about 10 years now.
One day a patient from nearby hospital came to buy food for a meagre 10 rupees. The hotel did not have any products in its catalog that matched the old lady’s wallet. She had to go back without any food for her ailing husband.
It was then Venkatraman decided it was time to give back something to his society.
Now he offers the “one rupee meal” for 30 patients each day. This has really helped the people who are needy.
While we are running around the world to make each possible penny, we had forgotten to serve the society which do not even enjoy its basic amenities.
