KOLLAM: Anyone can always come to Kizhakkethil house in Karunagappally Thazhava Thodiyoor North. Dinesh Kumar (39), who won Rs 12 crore through pooja bumper lottery, does not even have a gate installed in his house. At least one person would approach Dinesh with demands every day. Dinesh Kumar's habit since his childhood has been to help those who approach him.

Most of them come to seek financial help. These include help getting married, taking documents from the bank, hospital needs, and building a house. Some will return the money. Some can't do that. Dinesh is not worried even if it takes time to return the money. This philanthropist says he is aware of their difficulties.

Dinesh was at the forefront when the tsunami engulfed Alappad in 2004 and when there were floods in 2018 and Covid. Dinesh is also active in charitable activities as part of local clubs and collectives.

Dairy farm started seven years ago

Dinesh took over the family businesses after plus two. Seven years ago, he started a dairy farm in Anayadi. Dinesh has decided to deposit the bumper amount in the bank for some time and move on with his current business. He will also help the locals as before. The number JC 325526 in the 10 tickets taken on October 22 from Jayakumar lottery agency near Kollam KSRTC stand is what made Dinesh a millionaire. His wife Rashmi and children Dheeraj and Dheeraj are overjoyed.

"You have to live happily as long as you live. Those around you should also be involved in that joy. As before, I will understand their difficulties and help them." - Dinesh Kumar
