Yesterday, Mahindra took to Twitter and reposted a tweet detailing Bhuyian’s actions. The tweet, by a journalist, requested the business tycoon to present a tractor to the man. To which, Mahindra responded and tweeted that it will be his honour to do that.

Now, in a happy update, he confirmed that Bhuiyan has received the vehicle. The post is complete with an image of him standing in front of Mahindra’s gift. Take a look at what he tweeted:

“When commitments are made and fulfilled at this pace, this brings people’s confidence that humanity is still there and keeping the world moving,” wrote a Twitter user. “Such a Nobel thought and commitment,” expressed another.

Earlier, the news agency ANI also tweeted a few images along with a quote from Bhuiyan. “It took me 30 years to dig this canal which takes the water to a pond in the village,” he said. Take a look at the tweet:
