Amitabh Bachchan, who is known to be at
the forefront of admirable causes and
charitable initiatives, has decided to pledge
for yet another social cause. He has
reportedly pledged a considerable sum
towards the welfare of Indian
Army martyrs' widows and the upliftment
of farmers in our country.
Most of the social initiatives promoted by
megastar Amitabh Bachchan, have actually
witnessed successes in their respective
practices. Some of his earlier campaigns
include spreading awareness about
ailments like Polio, Tuberculosis and the
much talked about cleanliness drive, Swach
Bharat Abhiyaan.
A close source to the star said that Amitabh
Bachchan has set aside a sum of Rs. 2
crores (Rs. 1cr for the Martyrs families and
Rs. 1 cr for the farmers repayment of
loans) that will go towards the betterment
and care of Indian army widows and their
families, and towards uplifting our
struggling farmers in India. We hear that he
has even in his personal capacity set up a
team to list and locate authentic
organizations that will ensure the money
flows to the right people.
The source also maintained that this
initiative led by India's superstar should
hopefully provoke others into action as well,
as many reports often portray the pitiful
conditions faced by the families of our
Jawans who bravely give their life for the
country, and our farmers' current tragic
situation. They are the two components
that have made India proud and should not
be neglected.
It may be noted that in the past too
Amitabh Bachchan has contributed towards
repayment of farmer loans in Andhra
Pradesh and in Vidarbha, thereby saving
several farmers from taking extreme steps.
The source concluded by saying, "He has
been known to shy away from any such
news announcements and its publicity,
personally.
