The facility was provided to students who did not have access to smartphones or laptops to attend online classes.
Sonu Sood came across a story about the kids travelling miles just to access online education, after which he took the initiative to provide them with a smartphone so they can study from their homes. To avoid risking their health during COVID-19, Sonu Sood provided them with a smartphone.
"No more travelling for these kids. They will have their smartphones by tomorrow," shared Sonu on Monday, August 24, 2020. More so, Sonu surprised the students with a video call.
"Students of Govt school Morni were in for a surprise when they got a call from Actor Sonu Sood, his friend Karan Gilhotra this mrng who announced that thy need not travel miles for phones as they handedover new smart phones to their Principal," shared a Twitter user.
