Tamil actor and filmmaker Raghava Lawrence is never the one to shy away from humanitarian activities. He has always lent a helping hand to those in need, through his charitable trust. Whether it is education, medical treatment or any other, Raghava Lawrence is always there to help. Just earlier this month, the actor started a campaign named Maatram, an initiative through which he provided 10 tractors to impoverished farmers who needed them.
Recently, a video of him and KPY Bala of Cooku with Comali fame, buying an auto for an underprivileged woman went viral. Most recently, Raghava Lawrence has helped a Class 12 student gain admission into a college of her preference.
Vaishnavi, hailing from Chennai’s Korukkupet, scored 592 in Class 12 and was not offered a place in the college she had applied for. This information was revealed to Raghava Lawrence by small-screen actress Aranthangi Nisha. Lawrence met the concerned student in person and after a discussion with her, facilitated her admission into the college she wanted. He also provided many incentives to the students.
To announce his help to the student, Raghava Lawrence addressed the press and said, “I am openly helping everyone so that many more people will see me and help people. I am happy to go and help people. Moreover, North Chennai is the place where I was born. Here, people have welcomed me with enthusiasm and have sought my help. I will help as much as I can without taking money from anyone.”
When a reporter asked him whether he would join politics in the future, the actor said he had no such plans. He said, “I have no intention of joining politics. What I do is service to God. We are used to expecting something in return if we do something good. Some people may think that I am doing these to gain entry into politics but they will understand eventually.”
