In countless little ways, all these people add value to our lives on a daily basis. We can’t have a full meal knowing fully well that millions of these people are starving to death. Paytm has now made it possible to contribute easily to this cause, to the city of your choice. We request you all to contribute generously to ensure that no lives are lost due to hunger during this lockdown period”, added KVN Foundation.
