Dear Venkatesh, You are the REAL HERO and have made all of us proud. Just think of those people you saved, u r their SAVIOUR. We all salute you for the selfless service you are rendering to strangers. Yes, rediff team must come out with his contact details so that we all can ensure that his wish of opening a shop and being stationed at the beach is fulfilled so that he helps out people in danger. CLAP CLAP CLAP for Venkatesh.
This is called supreme social work, hope some politician will also read . If Tamilnadu govt. can not provide him with a job of life guard then I am ready to take the call . I just need his contact.
The rotary and lions club should immediately provide life jacket ,a watch tower A binocular and funds for sustaining his family and his training other willing boys

Are you a member of either club? Can you please approach either one in his locality? That would be really great if what you suggest is got done.
Can anybody forward his contact details. Let us see if something can be done to help him directly. It will be possible only if he can be contacted directly. His wish is not anything big (a small shop near the beach)

I am also of the same opinion.Pls send the details.
It is a long time since he affected his first rescue at the age of 13. Did the police or the authority ever nominate his name for President’s award for bravery? We see life guards in action in foreign countries in TV serials. This ensures safety of tourists and promotes tourism. Some action must also be taken to improve tourism in India. Beginning can be done by employing and posting life guards at beaches frequented by tourists. Venkatesh with his vast experience can be employed as their leader and trainer. Next, sufficient number of clean public urinals for men and women must be made available in every town and city of India.
