There are a lot of people out there who need help but seldom do individuals go out of their daily routine to lend a helping hand to the needy. A radio jockey in Mumbai however decided to help a helpless girl after meeting her through her job in the city.

According to a media report, Radio City’s RJ Sucharita Tyagi has gone beyond her job to help fund a visually-impaired law student Nikita Shukla’s course. The girl who won a radio contest went to collect her prize at the radio station office when she decided to meet the radio jockey. The aspiring lawyer mentioned to Sucharita about her struggle and how her parents threw her out of the house when she told them she didn’t want to get married.

While she has been able to manage with donations from a few other students and professors, the money isn’t sufficient for her to get regular meals and has been only surviving on dinner for three years. The RJ spoke about Nikita on her show and money started pouring in from listeners and now enough money has been raised for her education and hostel fee.
