Delhi Delivery Rider Feeds Homeless: Delhi’s delivery rider Akash Saroj earns around ₹ 1200 every day and spends ₹ 500 on feeding the homeless and needy. Know his inspiring story.
Aakash Saroj Inspiring Story: In today’s time, where people are busy fulfilling their needs amid rising inflation, Delhi’s delivery rider Akash Saroj is setting a different example. Akash, who has been doing delivery work for six years, spends a major part of his daily earnings for those people who do not even get two meals a day. The special thing is that for this work they neither get help from any organization nor do they earn any money from social media. For him, this is not just service, but a way of implementing his father’s teachings in life.
Father’s lessons became the biggest aim of life
Akash Saroj says that the biggest reason for his mission is his late father. He says that his father always taught him humanity and helping the needy. With this thought in mind, he decided that as far as possible, he would not let any hungry person sleep without food. For them, this work is not a part of any show, but has become a daily responsibility. This is the reason why despite his busy schedule, he is continuously delivering food to the needy.
Out of the earning of Rs 1200, Rs 500 will be given daily to the needy.
According to Akash, he earns an average of around Rs 1200 per day by doing delivery work. Out of this, about Rs 500 is spent every day in preparing food and delivering it to the needy people living on the streets. He clearly said that his entire food drive is completely self-funded. He shares videos of his work and people’s stories on Instagram, but he does not earn any income from there. That means the entire expense of the service is borne by their own earnings.
A balance has to be struck every day between job and service.
The job of a delivery rider is very hard work in itself. Despite this, Akash has to handle the responsibility of time, money and entire management alone. He admits that it is not easy, but when a smile is seen on the face of a needy person, all the fatigue goes away. He says that to continue this work he has to sacrifice his savings, comfort and even personal time. Yet he does not consider it a burden but his responsibility. Watch the video below-

Their effort is to provide help to those who live on the streets or are forced to sleep hungry. Describing his most memorable experience, he said that serving fresh food to the homeless people near the Kashmiri Gate flyover has been one of the most satisfying moments for him.
A direct message given to the society
Akash Saroj believes that the real success of any person lies not only in earning but in giving back to the society. His message is clear that no help is small. If every person helps one needy person as per his capacity, then positive change can be brought in the lives of many people.
