Infosys Co-Founder N R Narayana Murthy's wife and philanthropist Sudha Murthy's video showing her packing relief material for flood-hit people of Kodagu has gone viral on the social media.
She is seen supervising the relief material packed in bags embossed with Infosys.
The video shows Murthy opening a carton and passing on relief material to people seated on the other side of the room, besides packing material herself and supervising the packing process.
BJP leader and Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, among many, had shared the video on his twitter handle and called her 'Amma' (mother) for her unassuming work.
"Amma #Sudha Murthy @infosys Support to #KeralaFlood #Coorgfloods," he tweeted.
The incessant rains had triggered floods and landslides in Kodagu, which claimed 12 lives since August 12.
Restoration work has begun after the water levels receded at many areas.
As water is receding in the flood-ravaged Kerala, people of the state are having a tough time to rebuild their lives all over again. They have lost their near and dear ones, all their belongings and most importantly all their documents have gone missing in the flood. And that is the biggest fear and they need to start everything from the scratch.
A 68-year-old man committed suicide at his home as he was unable to get over the shock of what was left of his dwelling at Kothad in Ernakulam district, close on the heels of a teenaged boy from Kozhikode taking his life after his certificates were destroyed in the floods.
In order to help Kerala limp back to normalcy, Centre and several states have announced aid from their relief funds.
Officials on Wednesday said flight operations from flood-hit Kochi international airport, which has remained closed for more than a week, will resume from August 29, instead of August 26, as it would require more time to mobilise the workforce, most of whom had been affected by the floods.
With the rescue operations in the affected areas nearing a close, the government turned its attention to rehabilitating people, days after the monsoon fury ravaged the state claiming
231 lives and forcing more than 14.50 lakh out of their homes.
