Summary:

According to my opinion, all personalities are very famous all over the world and got fame. They have their own companies establish by their effort and good thinking. Gautam Adani founded the company with the name of the Adani group and after it becomes Adani enterprises Ltd. and got fame in the world. He has pain in his heart for the poor people and humanity. He gave about 100 crores to the PM CARES for the Coronavirus patients, and also gave 1 crore for the donation of the poor persons living in the country. Byju Raveendran is also famous for the Founder of the Byju Learning App. He changes the lives of many students and the literate persons that are not doing anything. He developed an application and a website that many persons found work and job in the country. Samprada Singh was also a good person and he did the job first then had a distribution partnership, after the failure of the business he started his own business with his brother and Alkem Laboratories Ltd. He runs the business along with his brother and after the death of Samprada Singh, his brother got the charge and became the chairman of the company. Vivek Chaand Sehgal also a businessman and started his business along with his mother, named the business Motherson Sumi Systems. He did investment in it and made 11 other businesses from it in a short period of 12 years, also have the nationality of Australia.

According to my opinion, there are mostly poor people and more than half of India suffers from poverty. They don’t have the roof for shelter, the living place for living, food to eat, and security. These are all basic needs that are necessary for life. The government should be focused on them to give them all basic needs. It is right for them to take from the government to live their life and the future.
