Karnataka Flood Relief Fund
Tax deductible
Across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, incessant rains have created havoc killing over 100 people and displacing lakhs. At least 5,375 NDRF personnel have been pressed into rescue and relief operations across India.
The Karnataka state government has declared 80 Taluks in 17 districts as flood-affected and the death toll went up to 26 and thousands of people were rendered homeless. The flood-hit Taluks are in Belagavi, Bagalkote, Raichur, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Vijayapura, Gadag, Haveri, Dharwad, Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada and Mysuru districts.
Three IAF helicopters rescued 37 persons in Belagavi, Gadag and Raichur districts on the third day of aerial operation. Around 1,500 food packets were air dropped to villages affected by floods, says an IAF release. We also learnt that the Jnana Sindhu school for the blind in Hole Alur is also affected by flood waters of Mala Prabha river. Kids from the school are safe and currently in a temporary accommodation.
Kannada Koota of Northern California pledges your support in raising fund for helping the people stranded in relief camps across Karnataka. As a true global community let us together stand up to the cause and be a helping hand to the distressed people of Karnataka. We seek your generous donations which will be channelized through Sewa International for active relief fund in Belagavi and also channelized through Samarthanam (another non-profit working for the blind) for aiding the relief work for Jnana Sindhu Blind School at Hole Alur,
