This is Ajay Munot, a wealthy businessman in India. He amassed his wealth thanks to his business as a cloth and wheat wholesaler.

Last December, his daughter Shreya was getting married. Since he could afford it, Munot wanted to do something big for the occasion.

Munot had 80 lakh set aside for the wedding, which is over 100,000 U.S. dollars. But he decided that money would be better spent on something else.

So instead, Munot use the money for his daughter's wedding and used it to build 90 homes for the homeless. The homes were all built along two acres of land.

Each home is 12 by 20 feet, has two windows, and has electricity. Filtered drinking water will also be accessible at the homes.

Munot and his family carefully selected those who would be given houses. The recipients had to be people who lived in slums, and that were completely free from addictions.

The homeless problem is extremely large in India. The country has about 78 million homeless people, including about 11 million homeless children.

In the past 20 years, the number of people living in slums in India has doubled. It's estimated that the country has a shortage of about 18.78 million homes, so Munot's gift does something to reduce that number.

Munot said he was inspired to help by politician Prakash Bamb, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Bamb gave him the idea to do something for the homeless.

For those who received the homes, it changed their lives. One recipient said it's a relief because her family no longer has to struggle in order to get necessities like water and electricity.

When it came to the cost of constructing the homes, Munot dug into his daughter's wedding budget...and then some. The total cost came out 1.5 lakh, or around $220,000.

Munot's daughter Sheyra had no problem with her wedding money going to others. "I am very happy with the decision and will consider it as my marriage gift," she said.

Munot explained he did it because he believes those with money should help others. "“This is the new chapter in history and I hope that the same concept will be followed by the other rich communities,” he said. “We have some responsibilities towards our society and we tried to comply with it.”
