India has around 35% of its billion population living below the poverty line, with the majority of the poor living in the villages.In the struggle for food and shelter, they are forced to ignore the third basic necessitie of life i.e. clothing.These are well known facts to one and all and need no buttressing.No one can be so blind to never have seen kids roadside with almost no clothes at all whether in the hot freaking summers or in the cold biting winters.Surely no one is that blind.But everyone is surely ignorant, and i would say our society is the culprit,because we can prevent it.Its would certainly seem not of any concern to us.We cant buy them clothes from our parent's hard earned money.But still its only us who has the solution to it.And the solution lies in your closet.
Our society is generous enough to donate clothes for the needy only in the times of disaster.But why should the country wait for a disaster to be helped??
Its upto the youth of the country, to be the change they wish to see in the world.For someone has to take the onus for it,to help the poor people survive themselves,to live with dignity.
poor-ani jeans aur tshirt is just a small initiative towards it, at the college level starting with my own college IIT Bombay.
