Indian network Radio City 91.1FM has joined hands with Dalmandai Foundation for ‘Jal Ha Toh Kal Hai’- an initiative aimed at lending a helping hand to drought-struck regions of the state of Maharashtra by donating water via tankers.

The station has pledged to help drought-hit villages and farmers by encouraging listeners to donate money for this cause.

Radio City visited Sri Krishna wadi of Deolgaon siddhi, one of the most adversely hit drought areas, and filled up its ponds, tankers and wells.

The residents of the village are getting water supply once in a few days and are forced to bathe once a month to save water.

The station has also managed to collect money and donate more than 3.5 million litres of water to 85 villages and 15 forests in Ahmednagar.

RJ Archana, Radio City Mumbai’s morning show host, along with her team visited Ahmednagar with the water tankers and spent the whole day with the farmers and their families to understand their struggle to acquire water.

They were also very touched when they listened to the audio messages of Radio City listeners to boost their morale and to show them that they mattered.

Speaking about the initiative, Abraham Thomas, CEO, Radio City 91.1FM said: “Jal Hai TohKal Hai is an endeavour to use our platform to highlight the plight of the farmers in Maharashtra, reeling under the onslaught of drought to our listeners and give them an opportunity to help in this cause. We are overwhelmed with the response garnered from our listeners who generously contributed more than 3.5 million litres of water.”
