Tamil Nadus Famous Idli Amma Gets New Home, Courtesy Anand Mahindra

Hunger and food insecurity are issues that the world is fighting collectively. Millions of people go hungry every day without eating a single meal. Some citizens are volunteering to beat the poor and provide them with food and water. An example of this would be the famous M. of Tamil Nadu. Kamalathal aka Idli Amma – who cooks and serves Idli to migrant workers and laborers. Idli costs only Rs. 1 to make food easily available and affordable for people. Idli Ammar’s heart-warming story went viral in 2021, with several well-known personalities sharing their appreciation for her selfless initiative. And now, industrialist Anand Mahindra and his team of engineers have built a new home for eight years. Check out Anand Mahindra’s tweet here:

Thank you so much to our team for finishing the house construction work on time to give a gift to Idli Amma # Mother’s Day She is the epitome of a mother’s virtues: nurturing, caring and selfless.

Very good work sir,

Serving the society selflessly is a great work.
Encouraging such people is increasing their power to do more for society. ????

I have learned that even in Karnataka, elderly couples are serving less than their poverty. — Anilkumar (@anilkumargam) May 8, 2022
