Thane family downsizes wedding to help farmers 
Vivek Vadke, a 59-year-old chemical engineer from Thane, downsized his daughter’s wedding to save money for farmers. He donated ₹6 lakh to two drought-affected villages in Marathwada– Padali in Jalna and Dapshed in Nanded. “After visiting the villages, we realized that the best way to use the money would be to help deepen and widen the water resources", Vadke said.
