Disaster Response Pooled Fund
Last year alone, 2,936 lives were lost, 3,63,381 homes destroyed, and 61,826 cattle perished due to hydro-meteorological disasters in India.
Now, imagine that each of those homes sheltered an average of four people. That means over 1.4 million lives were shattered overnight.
