Bihar Floods - Help Required!!

Milind attended a meeting called by Ms. Medha Patkar in Pune on the 21st of September. Medha tai called upon all citizens to take part in the relief efforts for victims of the floods that have hit Bihar. The State machinery has failed in its efforts to provide relief to the people. More than 25 lakh people have been affected, though the Government is not coming forth with the actual death toll.

There is a dire need for funds, medicines - especially for skin diseases, medical professionals, para-medical staff and volunteers. Any contribution is welcome and may be channelized through Narmada Navnirman Abhiyan. Kindly read the appeal below :
