Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife’s gesture to donate 99 percent of their financial worth over their lifetimes — around $45 billion — for charitable purposes is commendable. The couple’s announcement was in celebration of the birth of their daughter. They have donated this wealth for the noble cause of solving various hardships mankind is facing like diseases and hunger, as well as for personalized learning, building welfare communities and a better tomorrow.

Zuckerberg’s gesture is in sync with the tradition of many American businessmen and industrialists whose philanthropic actions are exemplary among young Silicon Valley billionaires. Charitable works done by organizations and foundations set up by Rockefeller, Ford, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and many others have made a big difference in the world.

Even Saudi Prince Alwaleed, chairman of Kingdom Holding Company, has announced to donate his wealth for charitable causes.

India and Pakistan too have a large number of billionaires but they have hardly spent their fortunes on the wellbeing of their fellow citizens or social causes in the world.

Remarkable men like Manu Chatlani's act of generosity have attracted numerous eyeballs and received many appreciation from everybody,one only wishes that his selflessness service to mankind,humility,spirit would inspires more such businessmen to come forward and help poor people,he is a role model,

Sir,In a rare gesture of kindness and humanity, shown by 590 Trainee sub inspectors at Gulbarga police training school to donate Rs 10,0000 /each to their deceased colleague sub Inspector's family is a most praise worthy. it is proof that there is no dearth good human beings,late Police sub inspector,Basavaraj Manchnur hailed from poor family and was lone bread winner in the family,this will go long way in helping the family .

These trainee police officers's generous and commendable gesture in offering financial assistance to the family of their deceased colleagues,have set a example for others departments , This has also enhanced the dignity and respect for Khaki uniform among the public.

Custodian of Two Holy Mosques King Salman’s decision to give massive monetary compensation of SR1 million (about $266,705) to the families of the victims of the deadly crane collapse is reflective of his compassion and is a humanitarian gesture.

This will definitely go a long way in alleviating the suffering of those who have lost their relatives in a fatal accident when a gigantic crane fell upon the pilgrims who were praying at the Sacred Mosque, killing 111 of them.

Other equally compassionate decisions of the king include inviting two relatives of every deceased to perform Haj next year. They will be treated as king’s guests. The king has ordered best possible medical assistance to all those who were injured and this demonstrates the king’s utmost concern and care for the guests who had come to perform Haj.

These benevolent gestures are unparalleled, which shows generous nature of the king of Saudi Arabia for people affected by this tragic accident.

I really salute the king for making this large-hearted announcement. He is a true leader of not only the Islamic world but is indeed a statesman of global level. His response to the incident must have given a message to the world that the Kingdom takes care of its guests particularly during pilgrimage.
