After Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar Donates 90 Lakhs To Maharashtra Farmers

We told you about Nana Patekar donating Rs 15,000/-  to each family from Vidarbha region. We don’t find many Bollywood celebrities donating money for a cause they believe in. But here’s one more: Akshay Kumar.

Akshay Kumar will donate Rs 90 Lakhs to drought-stricken Maharashtra farmers.

According to the Times of India, nearly 90 lakh farmers’ lives were devastated because of the recent drought in Maharashtra. The official crop, the Kharif crop, was destroyed completely.

The drought occurred because of inadequate monsoons in the Maharashtra area.

It has obviously rendered the farmers distressed.

Each farmer would be getting Rs 50,000/-

For the coming 6 months, around 30 farmers will get Rs 50,000/- each.

This magnificent step was initiated by Beed district’s IG Vishwas Nangre Patil, and Akshay Kumar’s representative Vedant Bali.

Isn’t this superb? Celebrities roping in to help is always magnificent. Hope it helps the distressed farmers in the best way.
