For the big question - where and how would this money be used?
  • To establish farmer helplines 
  • To help form farmer cooperatives 
  • To help create Farmer Producer organizations
  • To ear mark 30-40% of the funds raised for helping farmers in distress
  • To invest in programs, campaigns to reach out to farmers to help educate and organize them to adopt non pesticide management and organic/natural farming
The focus will be in the states of Andhra, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu given our reach in those states. This section will be updated as we are able to crystallize this information further. 

An 8 year old's letter titled "A farmers difficult life" perfectly captures the harsh reality of the farmers and their crisis

"A farmer doesn’t have enough of water, sunlight, big farming land, money, seeds, fertilizer and things. Sometimes a drought hits. Not enough water, but too much sunlight. 

Sometimes a farmer didn’t have enough money to buy seeds to grow crops. How will they grow the crops? When the crops do grow the farmer will take the to the market but half way through the plants are half destroyed. They walk for nothing, something or they might succeed. We have to help farmers in India. 

I grew 1 bean and it took work and patience. Farmers do so much work. We should put our heads together and do our part. We all need food so help the farmers.

Message: Help is on the way" 

The letter ends on a positive note that help is on the way. This is exactly the intent behind this effort. To create a 1 crore fund to serve the needs of farmers in distress.

We have a solid network of volunteers, NGO's on the ground across the different states in India and through them we intend to reach out to the farmers, identify those in distress and be proactive in our approach to offer help.

Such an intervention will allow us to avoid the situations that push the farmers into a further deepening crisis.

So can you please join in this effort
  • Donate just $10 or Rs 1000
  • Donate $20 or Rs 2000
  • Get at least 10 of your friends to do the same and set a personal goal of Rs 20,000
  • Take personal responsibility to see that we reach the goal of 1 crore
