Recalling a Good Samaritan: Now, 50 children, including 20 girls, are studying in the Panchayat Union Primary School,” said S. Joseph, the police officer’s brother.
As a boy, Periapandian had to walk every day to reach his school, TDTA Middle School at Moovirunthaazhi, a nearby village.
He voluntarily donated his land for the school that now gives primary education to mostly Dalit children, his brother said.
“As going to the school was difficult during rain, he [Periapandian] donated 15 cents of land free of cost when the government decided to open a primary school in our village.
“He would try and help anyone seeking help, if the request was genuine,” Mr. Joseph said.
