I, Surjeet Tekam, reside in Karanjia block of Dindori district which is situated in the remotest part of Madhya Pradesh. This is one of the most underdeveloped districts in the country with limited banking outreach and very low income levels.

I am constructing a house for my aged parents in my village Baharpur. Their current house is made of Mud and does not adequately protect from rains. I started constructing a Pucca house for them last year. This is a dream I have had for many years and I want my parents to stay in it till their last days.

The total cost of constructing the house is Rs 6,50,000. I took a loan of Rs 2,50,000 from the organization I work for and every month, half my salary goes in repaying the loan. However, I am still short by Rs 4,00,000. I mortgaged my land but only got Rs 30,000 from it. I checked with banks but they do not lend without collateral. I need to complete the construction of the house before the Monsoon rains in June 2021. Hence, I request you to contribute towards this and help me fulfill my dream for my parents. Thank you and God bless you and your family. Surjeet Tekam.
