The philanthropist has offered free education to the children of all the martyrs.

"I saw a girl of our Indian soldier crying on the television saying that her father had told her to study hard and become successful. At that very moment, I decided to sponsor the children of the martyrs killed in Uri attack," Savani told the Times of India.

This is not the first time the 47-year-old businessman has shown exemplary social responsibility.
