Amitabh Bachchan to pay off loans for 850 farmers. Deets Inside

Amitabh Bachchan has said that he will repay the loans for 850 farmers of Uttar Pradesh. The veteran actor has said that he previously helped over 350 farmers from Maharashtra by clearing their loans. Mr Bachhan announced this great news on his blog.

The 76-year-old actor wrote in his blog, “It has been a most satisfying experience to give some to them our countrymen that sacrificed their lives for us… 44 families diversified into 112 entities were given out in my small way from Maharashtra, the brave hearts, the SHAHEED. More needs to be done from other parts of the country too. It shall be done.

“Over 350 farmers loans that were difficult to pay off, and to prevent them from committing suicide, was paid off some days back too… Earlier farmer loans from Andhra and Vidarbha had been done… Now a list of over 850 farmers from Uttar Pradesh have been identified and their loans amounting to over Rs 5.5 crore shall be taken care of .. The assistance from the bank in question assists in its execution and its benevolence.”

Big B also said that he will be helping Ajeet Singh, who appeared on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Karmveer’. Ajeet works for the protection of girls who are forced into prostitution. “Tomorrow a contribution to Ajeet Singh, who was on KBC Karmveer, and who works towards forced prostitution and the protection of young girls being kidnapped and forced into this dastardly crime, is being sent to him to help in his most valiant endeavour,” added Mr Bachchan in his blog.

This is indeed a great initiative by the senior actor and if every citizen can help the farmers to repay the loans, news of farmers committing suicide will come down. Isn’t it?
