With temperatures breaching 45°C across large parts of India, NEEV Foundation has mounted a large-scale summer relief campaign, “ Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega ,” targeting outdoor workers, the general public, stray animals and birds bearing the brunt of this season’s extreme heat. The initiative is being rolled out across six states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra. NEEV Foundation launches ‘Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega’ summer relief campaign across six states NEEV Foundation is deploying 60 relief vans to distribute clean, cold drinking water at high-footfall public areas and directly to those working long hours in the open, including traffic police personnel, delivery executives, construction workers, street vendors and autorickshaw drivers.

Through this campaign, we wanted to create immediate, accessible relief for those who keep our cities functioning despite extreme weather conditions. Sometimes the most meaningful interventions are also the simplest, whether it is offering a glass of water, a moment of shade or basic support during difficult conditions .” He added, “ NEEV was founded on the belief that social responsibility begins with showing up for people when they need support the most. We hope this campaign also encourages citizens to participate in small acts of care, from keeping water outside homes for birds and stray animals to supporting delivery personnel and outdoor workers during peak summer hours. Collective action often begins with individual awareness. Sometimes, a small beginning brings a big change and starts a revolution .” The campaign carries a deliberate public mobilisation intent, seeking to deepen community participation in heat relief at a time when rising temperatures are emerging as a sustained challenge across urban and rural India. The seasonal effort is part of a broader development mandate. NEEV Foundation’s Rural Development Centre in Nimbahera anchors its long-term work, which spans skill development for women under the Hunar programme, community infrastructure through Sanrachna, educational support under Udaan, healthcare outreach through Arogyam and sustainability initiatives under Eco Green.

south-west-monsoon-delayed-when-the-rain-is-set-to-arrive
The Indian Meteorological Department had predicted that the monsoon would begin in Kerala around May 26. However, weak winds and hot weather conditions on Tuesday have raised uncertainty over rain arriving in the rest of the country by June 1. The department had said that conditions were favourable for monsoon onset only in some parts of the Arabian Sea. The south-west monsoon is expected to enter he state now only between June 5 and 10. The reported delay is in the wake of El Nios impact. The movement of the monsoon slowed down, and it is predicted that there will be less rainfall this year. For the rains to be categorised as monsoon, at least 60 per cent of 14 weather stations in Kerala must record rainfall measuring 2.5 mm or more over two consecutive days alongside specific wind and cloud coverage. Meanwhile, many parts of the country have been reeling under the hot conditions for the past few days. Temperatures in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, for example, crossed 46.5 degree celcius on Monday. Deaths due to heatstroke were also reported in the state, with a red alert being issued for the adverse conditions. A red alert was issued for Odisha, East Madhya Pradesh and East Uttar Pradesh due to the sweltering heat. A yellow alert was issued in Delhi for excessive heat on Tuesday. Despite the delayed onset of monsoon, the IMD predicted that there would be light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds over Kerala, Mahe and Lakshadweep from May 26 to 29. A yellow alert has been issued for Kerala and Lakshadweep over the next four days. There will also be light to moderate rainfall in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, Rayalaseema, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh during the same period. This will be accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Coastal Maharashtra and Goa are also set for similar conditions.
