Young Professional Uses First Stipend To Buy AC For Family; Garners Praise

In an era when self-fulfilment and personal gains are seen as goals, a young professional’s heart-warming act of selflessness has captured the attention of social media. The young man’s act serves as a shining example of the values that hold families together. In a world where many young professionals prioritise personal comforts and luxuries, this person’s decision to use his first internship stipend to purchase an air conditioner for his family showcases a profound sense of responsibility, gratitude, and love. Devesh Kumar, a recent graduate from Netaji Subhas University of Technology happily shared a photo of the air conditioner he bought for his family using the stipend he received from his internship. He is interning as a software development engineer, as evident from his bio on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter). Sharing the photo he wrote, “Contributed my first internship salary to buy an AC for the family”.

Soon after, he made a correction in another tweet, replacing “salary” with “stipend.” Despite the correction, the post gained tremendous attention, accumulating over 8 lakh views and garnering praise from social media users in the comments section.
