Dear friends,
The Bihar floods are surpassing the scale of the worst of national calamities and the level of the disaster is comparable to the 2004 Tsunami and in some ways worse. Of the 3 million affected, more than 1.5 million people are still stranded, as an embankment breach has changed the course of Kosi river by 120 kms. Death toll is rapidly rising.
The government's response has been woefully inadequate so far and while the centre has deployed the army it needs to increase their numbers much more. Please take a few minutes to sign the urgent petition to ensure that state and central governments' response is rapidly increased to match the scale of this disaster. Please circulate the petition widely.
Please also make a tax deductible donation to AID for responding with relief efforts by volunteers of AID-India and the Non-Governmental Organization that it is partnering with.
-- AID Volunteers.

Dear Members of the Right to campaign – Karnataka
NREGA was passed in 2006 and was implemented in 200 districts of the country from 2006 April. 5 districts of Karnataka were chosen in this batch and they were – Bidar, Gulbarga, Raichur, Davangera & Chitradurga.(1st phase) A historical ACT with the intention of giving employment as a right to the people and thus reducing poverty in rural India and reducing migration to cities which have lot of affect on the family especially women and children. NREGA says that ‘ Every rural household can apply and get 100 days of employment in 1 year’, but not many people have benefited because of this historical law of this country’ in the state of Karnataka, mainly due to the indifference of the government and its machinery towards the needs of the people. In comparison states like Rajasthan & Andhra Pradesh for example have been doing exceedingly well.
