Excerpts from the article (Date: Nov 3, Newspaper: Bangalore Mirror):
Hefty pay packets, posh lifestyle, foreign projects, stylish flat, swanky cars…. Such goodies no longer attract these software geeks. What has caught their attention is the mounting agrarian crisis in the state.
AID Bangalore chapter is not an NGO. It is mainly a volunteer movement. In solidarity with non-violent people’s struggles, AID Bangalore supports grassroots organizations in Bangalore and Karnataka and initiates efforts in various interconnected spheres such as education, livelihoods, natural resources, health, women’s empowerment and social justice. “AID Bangalore believes that all these problems are interconnected, and so must be the solution!” said convener Prasanna Saligrama.
