Although we believe every work is equal, however, it pains when we see such talent getting wasted because no support from the higher authorities have been provided ever.

Rajendra Singh Dhami has been working as a labourer under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme. He started working at a construction site along with his father, where he earns only Rs. 3000/month.

While his body is 90 percent disabled due to paralysis, he still chose to live a life through his own efforts.

He is not just the captain of India, but he also holds a Master's degree in History. He was even preparing for Uttarakhand state provincial civil services in 2012, but due to the financial crisis, he had to leave in-between.

He was recently provided financial support of Rs 11,000 from Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, he also has assured help in the future.

Let's hope, higher authorities will help him soon.
