His
name is Sivayya. He is sixty five years old. He knows the pain of how his co-
villagers have to travel two hours to reach the nearest hospital in Vijayawada
in times of medical emergency. When Sivayya came to know about Sanjivani
hospital, he felt happy at the prospect of medical aid reaching his
doorsteps. He thought it was his duty to part with a minimum amount. Without a
second thought he donated Rs. 3,500 from his meagre daily earnings. Sivayya
makes a living by pulling a rickshaw. He is a rich man because he has a big
heart. Sivayya's inspirational story was telecast over & over again.
Inspired by Sivayya's story, many came forward to contribute for the noble
cause. In collaboration with Siliconandhra TV9 telecast Sanjivanithon a fund
raising event LIVE and managed to collect thirteen crores in four hours for
Sanjivani a multi speciality hospital in Kuchipudi. Collections poured in from
three different centres - Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Kuchipudi. Hordes of people
went to see the hospital building under construction in Kuchipudi. Many saw
Sivayya there and congratulated him for his noble gesture. TV9 thanks rickshaw
puller Sivayya for inspiring people to donate for Sanjivanithon.
