Thanks for all the contributions till now. God Bless You. We are collecting $50K more to help around 30-40 migrant families with $1,500 each (around INR 1L). If you can support one family, we will be indebted. Update May 24th - Our shipment of 54 Oxygen Concentrators has reached India. These OCs are being installed in COVID Relief Camps across Delhi, Jammu, Sikkim, Chandigarh &amp; Punjab. We are redirecting our efforts from provisioning for Oxygen to long term sustenance . We are building shelters, providing meals &amp; medicines, and supporting 10s of migrant worker families who have lost their primary earning members to COVID.  Once again, a humble request - Please continue to support &amp; spread the word. There is a lot of support needed on the ground.

Support On The Ground COVID Relief Efforts

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab, we are collecting funds to support the farmers in India.  

All proceedings will go to Khalsa Aid, a non profit organization that is supporting the 1.2 Million farmers by serving them food and other basic necessities as they hold peaceful protests for their rights.

A quick summary of Why farmers are protesting?

Currently, the farmers have a market certainty for being able to sell their produce to wholesale markets or mandis governed by the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC). They are also guaranteed a minimum support price (MSP), which the government offers as a cushion to farmers against a sharp price fall during a particular season. 

The new legislations seeks to allow private market forces into the largely government-regulated farm sector in India, leaving the farmers at the mercy of big corporations. It is preposterous to believe that farmers who have small land-holdings will have any bargaining power over private players. The point is that in a country where 86 percent farmers have a land of the size of less than two hectares, you can’t expect the farmer to carry his produce to far off places to sell, and get the best for the farmer. Therefore, this protest is not just about economics, but also the right of the farmers to grow what they want and their self-respect.
