In 2020, during the nationwide lockdown, we were all witness to Sonu Sood’s relentless aid as he helped thousands of migrant workers return to their home towns. Two years on, the actor continues to lend a helping hand to the marginalised. Today, his Sood Foundation has expanded scope to help deserving students secure admission in colleges.
As part of the initiative last year, the actor tied up with seven to eight institutions in every state, with an emphasis on Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. “Students reach out to the foundation with their documents, after which the [selection] process begins. The experts we are associated with select candidates on the basis of their academic records. So far, we have tied up with CT University in Ludhiana, Guru Nanak University in Telangana, Budha University in Karnal, and many more,” he shares.
