Floods devastated Kurnool and Mahabubnagar towns of Andhra Pradesh in 2009 causing unprecedented loss to lives, land and property. Roads and houses were swelled with water and communication was cut off from outside world. Thousands were displaced from homes and a humanitarian crisis loomed before the State Government.
TV9 was the first to take the initiative of providing relief to people. TV9 teams braved flood waters and rescued several persons trapped in homes. Food Centres were set up that provided clean drinking water and food to the hungry. Thousands of tones of food grains received in charity were distributed. When we requested donors for financial aid, help poured in from all quarters. Stars were roped in for Star Nite fund raising. TV9 entered into an MoU with A.P State Housing Corporation and raised several crores of rupees that were spent on building 750 houses in Jagannatha Gattu area in Kurnool. TV9 worked selflessly for the flood affected with the help of volunteers and lived upto its motto “For a Better Society”.
