Along with wife Jaya Bachchan, the thespian personally handed over the amount to the farmers and army Martyrs families privately in Mumbai.
Big B was given a list of Shaheed families and farmers by the Maharashtra government which helped him materialize his help towards these families. The actor and his wife called those families privately to his house and along with the gracious Mrs Bachchan, personally handed them the cheques and NOCs.
Rs 2.03 crores have been given to 360 farmers all over Maharashtra. The farmers have been given a NOC and their loans have been directly cleared by Mr. Bachchan with the bank, which means the farmers are now debt free for life.
Bachchan blogged emotionally for the same, "They gave up their lives for the nation .. they left behind wives, parents, young children, and some yet to be born .. they fought for our lives for our protection and for our nation .. they sacrificed, so we could live to write about them."
