Highlights of #RangDeIndia Telethon: Make A Social Investment To Help Farmers In Distress
Rang De and NDTV have come together to highlight the impending crisis faced by small and marginal farmers across the country. As part of the Rang De India telethon, we are making a clarion call to the ordinary citizens of India to join hands in support of small and marginal farmers and make a social investment that will be disbursed to farmers directly. By providing interest-free loans to farmers in distress, we would like to ensure that they are able to take care of themselves and their families, while at the same time carry on with their farming.

Schools are beginning to reopen amidst a lot of chaos. Teachers have had to undergo salary cuts, many parents have not been able to pay the school fees due to job losses. For low income households, the challenge is accentuated further. With classes going online, thousands of children have had to scramble for gadgets to get online. The digital divide has never been more obvious, resulting in several kids dropping out of school.
To address the brewing crisis in the education space, Rang De along with NDTV hopes to intervene by providing interest free loans to low income households. The campaign aims to create awareness about the problem and raise interest free loans for student communities across India.
