As a district collector during the disaster, Dr. Radhakrishnan discovered Meena, the youngest survivor, crying amidst the devastation in Keechankuppam, Tamil Nadu. She was placed in the Annai Sathya Government Children’s Home, but he and his wife, Krithika, continued to support her beyond their official duties.
Even after being transferred, Dr. Radhakrishnan remained involved in Meena’s life, guiding her as she pursued her education and became a nurse. When she decided to marry, he traveled to Nagapattinam to be part of her special day.
Check out the post below:
The emotional ceremony was attended by several tsunami survivors from the children’s home, who stood by Meena as family. Sharing the moment on Instagram, Dr. Radhakrishnan wrote, “A heartwarming reunion in Nagapattinam. Seeing them grow, study, graduate, and now settle into beautiful lives brings tears of joy. A day to remember, a family that has grown beyond bonds of blood.”
His post quickly went viral, with many praising his kindness and lifelong dedication. One user commented, “Very inspiring, Sir. Hats off. No words to describe the gesture and the support you have rendered. My salute, sir.” Another wrote, “Everyone remembers your massive efforts during the tsunami. You became a father figure to all those impacted.”
