Mumbai: Multi- Lingual actor Sonu Sood announced a new initiative; he would be providing e-rickshaws to the underprivileged that lost their source of livelihood during the Covid- 19 pandemic.

The Bollywood actor in a statement said his initiative, titled ‘khud kamaao ghar chalaao’, is aimed at generating employment opportunities to make people “self-reliant”.

“I believe providing job opportunities are more important than distributing supplies. I’m sure that it will help them stand on their feet yet again by making them self-reliant and self-sufficient”.

He had earlier also launched the ‘Pravasi Rojgar’ app, which aims to connect those who lost their jobs in the pandemic to companies and offers specific programmes to help improve their skills.
