Honouring family of brave heart Amit Raj who sacrificed his life saving two minor girls

Background:

Amit, a student of Class X at Sainik School, Purulia, in West Bengal, had come to his village, Pesaur in the Rahui block of Nalanda district in Bihar, and was taking a morning stroll on December 3 when he heard cries for help from a house in neighbourhood which was engulfed in smoke. A fire had broken out in the house when two little children of Sudha Devi tried to make tea themselves and it caught fire and the children were trapped inside. “Amit, being a student of a Sainik School, jumped into the inferno and rescued both the trapped children but he sustained 85% burn injuries,” said his father. He was later shifted to a private hospital in the Kankerbagh locality of Patna and then to Safdargunj Hospital in Delhi where he died on December 13.[1]

Goal of the fundraiser:

The goal of the fundraiser is to honor the brave heart Amit Raj for the highest sacrifice he has done to save the lives of two minor girls. The family is underprivileged, and had high hopes from Amit Raj, who had ambitions to join the Army. The funds raised from the campaign will be used for the well being of the family & will be transferred to the bank account of the father.
