Sachin Tendulkar is a silent crusader when it comes to charitable works undertaken by him.
Reluctant at first to open up on this aspect of his life, lest it appears as a publicity hunting stunt, Tendulkar says he has been involved in humanitarian deeds since quite some time and would continue to do his bit to help the underprivileged.
Successor to Indian President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam in the Board of CARE Hospitals, Tendulkar says the hospital has been of great help to the needy, especially sportspersons of the state.
"It was an honour for me when our President, Dr Abdul Kalam suggested my name to be in the Board of CARE Hospitals in Hyderabad in his place when he became the first citizen of India," said Tendulkar.
Tendulkar has been instrumental in the hospital taking care of total expenses for treatment of even state level sportsmen and women.
"This includes even by-pass surgeries, besides different problems faced by sportspersons. The hospital authorities keep me posted about their work towards sportspersons," he said after the initial hesitation to disclose his charitable deeds.
Tendulkar has also been lending a helping hand to the downtrodden in Tardeo in Mumbai for over 11 years now by providing clothes and other necessities to 250 children besides taking care of their complete education, including books, notebooks, shoes and school uniforms.
Tendulkar has helped over 300 have-nots so far through the Dr Agarwal Eye Hospital in Chennai since October 2004 to get their cataract and eye grafting operations done.
The champion batsman said he is unwilling to talk about this aspect of his as he did not want to seek publicity from these causes.
"I have never spoken about these things so far. I am not to seek any publicity in these matters," he said.
"I am involved with 'Apnalaya' in Tardeo, Care Hospitals in Hyderabad and Dr Agarwal Eye Clinic in Chennai, besides the 'Make Wish Foundation', which has been doing a remarkable job for over a decade."
Tendulkar also expressed his happiness at the work being done by the Dr Agarwal Eye hospital.
"Since October 2004, the hospital has been doing cataract and eye grafting operations for the needy people.
"Ever since I had laid the foundation stone for their hospital in Bangalore, Dr Agarwal and other doctors in Chennai and Bangalore have so far operated over 300 poor persons from different parts of the country.
"The hospital sends me the photograph and the signature or thumb impression of each of the beneficiary under this scheme," he said.
About the school, he said, "I have adopted slum children of 'Apnalaya' school in Tardeo in Mumbai for over 11 years now. I have been taking care of their education, clothing and other expenses of about 250 children for a number of years now."
Leena Joshi, director of 'Apnalaya', expressed her gratitude for the cricketer, saying besides Tendulkar's personal donations, the institution also benefitted from sponsors due to their association with the master batsman.
"It was a great help at a time when we needed it. Sachin graciously accepted our proposal to help in educating children.
"Our institution has benefitted in many ways including getting sponsorship through Sachin for our projects, besides his financial assistance in helping the children, especially in our priorities for girls.
"He also takes care of their extra tuitions. It is always gratifying when children pass out of the school so that they are able to take care of themselves and secured in jobs."
As a policy, the school does not divulge the donor's name or introduce the donors to the children.
"But our 1800 children were elated when Sachin presented medals and trophies to the winners on our annual sports day," she said.
"We were all pleasantly surprised when he came to our school ground to be the chief guest for the annual sports day because it is located in such an area behind the garbage dumping area," she said.

Why?? no one has anything to comment about this. This is Indians, waiting for chance to downgrade others and no ready to listen to their good deeds.. really shamefull!!
Why only Sachin, why not Dravid, Ganguly,Kumble better ask Shastri, Kapil Dev & Vengsarkar also to come out of Retirement and play for Life time and it is better for us to forget that there is also a game called Criket exists in India. Bhai Abto Bus Karo.

U r right, nice ly quoted.
Well but to inform you, Sachin has played enough cricket for the country brought laurelas to his individual performances whenver he got opportunity, now he should retire voluntorily with respect & let anyother young player become bettre than sachin who can make India Win & simultaneously make his own records & earn Money.
First Country respect than individual Record then Money,
on the stake companies respect if you earn money that is very bad.
His performance is splendid, but howmany times india wins while batting second & what is the record of sachin while batting second & record in forth innings. Please check.... Dont give unnecessary hype to him dont make his value in Advertisings as a brand if he wants play ask him to concenterate on game & perform. No player can be come liabilty to india no mattre how big he is.

Mate dont hurt Sachin but take care of him. BCCI should know how to take care of this Hero. Use him sparingly, resting from some matches would do no harm to him. The statement given by Vegsarker was good one, that he is rested in one dayer for Bangladesh. Even we want to see more of him, but not seeing him struggling and booed. Always put him him on when looks in form and he looks in practice.

Wished Bcci had the good sense of using sachin and Ganguly only against tougher opposition in away matches. this would give us all their true form and worth. also a few new faces would be given chances against weaker teams and would be groomed well for tougher assignments in the future.

Mr. Mohd,
You are a Pakistani supporter no doubt about it. You all are always jealous of Gavaskar, Tendulkar, shastri and the great BALASAHEB THACKREY. Staying in India and siding Pakistan. Better to die then live. THANK GOD we are lucky to have such great people.

Hope Sachin's son will also join Sachin to increase advertisement contract in cricket.
RE:Sachin should play for another 6 yrs

If sachin and ganguly played only a few away matches against the likes of England,aussies and S africa, they could play for 12 yrs...why only 6 yrs( may be not, may be only 12 months ;going by their form these days against good teams!!)
He is saying becuase he knows sachin is unlucky for India and they have losed the oneday series becuase sachin is not there. Now he wants to win Test matches so he wants that sachin should play against him so that they can win test match series.
Scahin has done great service to the cricket and should be respected for it. However, his individual records are far greater than his record for the team,which is nothing new. Hence the present criticism is not fair against him,when people who have done far worse as ateam man, have not been criticesed. why sachin???please leave him alone.
