A farm labourer from Maharashtra's Osmanabad district has donated Rs 1 lakh to make desks and benches for students at his village school, hoping that one of them will become a collector one day, a dream that his late son nurtured.

Atmaram Sonavane (66) from Khamaswadi, nearly 36 km from the district headquarters, said he saves up from his meagre earnings to extend a helping hand to the local Zilla Parishad school in whatever way possible.
