Aditya Birla School which is just 15 years old has put in efforts to raise money for poor in rural areas. The school students used social media to gather an amount of Rs 10 lakh for charity.

People who have got a lot of issues regarding the usage of social media and think that it is just a medium of wars of words between politicians and poking fun at celebrities should remove their complaints now.

Meera Mehta, a student of Aditya Birla World Academy School has managed to pull in an amount of Rs 10 lakh for the Mumbai marathon through social media platforms. The amount is supposed to go to a Non Government Organisation (NGO) Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care. This NGO is responsible for doing social work for patients and rural children.

This is the first time in the history of social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that they have been used to raise funds for a grand event. And Mehta, who had been an active participant and fundraiser for the marathon says that it could not have been possible without her mentor, Pujya Gurudev Sri Rakesh Bhai’s support, who is a member of Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care NGO.
