8-Year-Old Girl Donates Her Piggy Bank Savings To Help Out Farmers In Maharashtra

Sometimes it is not the big things that make a difference but the small gestures that touch the heart.

An 8-year-old girl named Rasika Joshi saw a picture of Aamir Khan with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis. Being a huge fan of Aamir Khan, she asked her father, Manoj Joshi, what was Aamir Khan doing with the CM.

To which he replied that he is giving a cheque to the CM for the relief fund to help the farmers who lost their crops to bad weather and are struggling to survive now.

Inquisitive, Rasika asked if her photo would be clicked if she donated the money to which her father said yes. That excited Rasika and she decided to give her piggy bank donations to the farmers to help them.

Her benevolent gesture impressed her family as well as the Maharashtra CM who said he was touched by her gesture. He assured that no matter what, her savings would reach the farmer.

Her father was elated by the CM’s response to the little girl’s plea and his reaction to it.

Earlier, many celebrities including Ajinkya Rahane, Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar etc have donated funds to aid the farmers in drought-stricken Maharashtra. The recent rainfall has brought relief to some of the areas, however, many areas still remain dry with people struggling to make the ends meet.

Will there be another Rasika Joshi to help them out and show them love?
