Girl said that during the lockdown, her family's financial situation had deteriorated. Her parents had no means to buy a smartphone for her to attend online classes.

Tulsi Kumari, an 11-year-old mango vendor from Jharkhand's Jamshedpur, recently fulfilled her dream of buying a new smartphone to attend online classes, by selling a dozen mangoes for Rs 10,000 each. The miracle happened after Ameya Hete, a Mumbai based businessman came to know about Tulsi's struggles and decided to further her determination to study by buying 12 mangoes at Rs 10,000 each. Talking to ANI, Tulsi Kumar said that during the lockdown, her family's financial situation had deteriorated. Her parents had no means to buy a smartphone for her to attend online classes. "I wanted to buy a smartphone but whatever we earned from selling mangoes went into buying ration for the family. Then a 'Sir' bought 12 mangoes from me for Rs 10,000 each. He also bought me a phone," said Tulsi.
