Sachin Tendulkar donated his entire Rajya Sabha salary and allowances he could avail during his six years period to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. Apart from Monthly Allowances, The Cricket Legend received a salary of Rs 90 lakh during this period.
PMO issued an acknowledgement letter thanking Sachin Tendulkar for his great gesture. 'Prime Minister acknowledges this thoughtful gesture and conveys his gratitude. These contributions will be of immense help in providing assistance to the persons in distress,' read the Letter.
There was immense criticism on Sachin's poor attendance (Only 29 of nearly 400 Sessions) in the Parliament. Whereas, Many people point fingers at him due to lack of knowledge about how well he utilized the MPLADS. Sachin adopted two villages (Puttam Raju Kandriga in AP, Donja in Maharashtra) under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana scheme and provided basic infrastructure. He sanctioned 185 projects across the nation with Rs 7.4 crore which is a portion of Rs 30 crore allocated to him as MP during six years period. A major part of MPLADS was spent for Education & Rural Development. Sachin asked 22 questions but didn't raise any bills.
