NAREDCO Maharashtra Donates Rs 3.12 Crore to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to Support Flood-Affected Farmers Across Maharashtra

The recent torrential rains and flash floods wreaked havoc across key agrarian districts, including Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Nashik, Raigad, and Ratnagiri — destroying vast swathes of farmland, submerging homes, and leaving thousands of families struggling to rebuild their lives. For countless farmers, months of hard work and investment were washed away overnight, resulting in severe financial and emotional distress.

Recognising the gravity of the situation, NAREDCO Maharashtra has stepped forward to support the state government’s mission to bring relief to these affected farming families. The ₹3.12 crore contribution, made collectively by around 20 NAREDCO Maharashtra members, is aimed at helping restore livelihoods, rebuild homes, and provide essential support to farmers as they recover from this unprecedented natural calamity.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra, said, “Maharashtra’s farmers — our revered Annadata — are the backbone of our state’s economy, providing sustenance and strength to millions. The recent floods have not only damaged crops and farmland but also shaken the spirits of countless families. Through our humble contribution to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, we wish to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our farmers and support the government’s tireless efforts in ensuring relief, rehabilitation, and recovery.”

“This initiative is a reflection of our collective gratitude to the community that feeds the nation. We sincerely hope that our contribution helps bring some relief and hope to those whose livelihoods have been most affected,” he added.

The cheque handover ceremony was graced by the following leadership from NAREDCO Maharashtra, namely Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Mr Rajan Bandelkar, Mr Prashant Sharma, Ms Manju Yagnik, Mr Kamlesh Thakur, Mr Gopal Narang, Mr Sachin Gunjal, Mr Ashish Raheja, Mr Hitesh Bhagtani, Mr Aspan Cooper, and Mr Navin Makhija.

Over the years, the organisation has been at the forefront of various social and humanitarian initiatives — from disaster relief to community welfare — reaffirming its belief that true progress lies not only in developing cities but also in uplifting the rural and agrarian fabric of the state.

As the state government continues its large-scale relief operations — having already disbursed over ₹8,000 crore to nearly 40 lakh flood-affected farmers — NAREDCO Maharashtra has pledged continued support and awareness to mobilise further assistance for those who nurture the land and feed the nation.

This contribution stands as a testament to NAREDCO Maharashtra’s commitment to compassion, collaboration, and community rebuilding — ensuring that Maharashtra’s farmers rise again, stronger and more resilient than ever.
