Bihar railway station hits on unique plan to dispense charity

Patna, Oct 20 (The Bihar Post/IBNS): At a time when rising tension in life remains a matter of grave concern, Indian railways have come up with a unique idea to bring happiness in the life of common men.

The railways have erected a “goodwill wall” at Sonepur Junction in Bihar where anyone can get easy happiness in life by way of charity.

Sonepur Junction is located across the Ganges in Saran district of Bihar.

The “goodwill wall” wall provides the passengers the rare opportunity to do something for the welfare of the humanity and get their blessings.

A message on the wall asks the passengers to leave there something—such as old clothes, bags, towels, handkerchiefs, water bottles etc— which they think are “useless” to them and take away anything which they think could be useful for them.

“In that way, everyone could get a share of happiness in life by way of charity as it will bring colours in the life of the needy,” said senior divisional commercial manager Dileep Kumar, the brain behind the idea.

The “Happiness Junction” has also plenty of facilities for all age-groups of passengers coming to catch train. The facilities include as television programmes, books, journals and newspapers for reading during their brief stopover at the station.
