Girl buys vehicle with 14-year saving of Rs 5 notes

Bhubaneswar: A college girl in Koraput district of Odisha on Saturday set an example of smart saving for others by purchasing a two-wheeler vehicle for her with Rs 5 currency notes.

Priyanka Panda, daughter of Bhaskar Panda of Jalaput village under Nandapur block in the tribal district, spent money that she had saved over a period of 14 years from her expenses. On a suggestion by her father, the Plus Three student has been saving money since her little age of 4.

At an appropriate time, she wanted to spend it for her by buying a new vehicle with complete cash payment. She paid 12,000 pieces of `5 currency notes at the showroom counter. Although, it was a tough job for the showroom employees to count the total amount that contained 12,000 low-value currency notes, but they lauded Priyanka for her unique act.
