Mumbai: In the wake of devastating floods caused by incessant rains across Maharashtra, Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Adv. Manikrao Kokate has appealed to citizens to contribute generously to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to support distressed farmers and families.

Calling himself a “farmer’s son,” Kokate announced his decision on social media, urging people to extend a helping hand to those affected. “Heavy rains in Marathwada and several other parts of the state have caused immense loss of crops, homes, and livestock. Immediate financial aid and essential supplies are necessary to help these families recover from the calamity,” he said.

Birthday Message with Purpose
