We are overwhelmed with the gesture of Shri Jayasheela Rao, the only surviving founder member of our organisation, who was present on 28th October 1950 at Jantar Mantar of New Delhi, the day the 'Indian Federation of Working Journalists' (IFWJ), was founded. Shri Rao has contributed Rs. 500/- towards the 'Nepal Relief Fund' started by the IFWJ. The octogenarian Shri Jayasheela Rao lives in Bangalore. He is not only the veteran of the journalists' trade union movement in the country but is an accomplished writer and a journalist par excellence. A name to reckon with in Kannada Journalism and he has given a new dimension to it. The journalists and all political leaders of yester years of Karnataka hold Shri Jayasheela Rao in a very high steam. He has served for some time as the Media Advisor to the former Prime Minister Shri H.D. Deve Gowda. We salute to this great humanist-journalist for his contribution, which he has made for the hapless people of Nepal, who are under going through the tragedy and trauma of the disastrous earthquakes.

We express our deep gratitude to all contributors and donors for their magnanimity and large heartedness for standing behind the suffering people of Nepal in the hour of this massive crisis.

We are publishing here below the names and the amounts of all such persons, who have come forward to contribute their mite on our call.

We again appeal to all our friends, colleagues and all others to contribute liberally for this humanitarian cause.

Thanking you,

Ram P. Yadav
Secy. IFWJ
