Excerpt from story on “More to Life than Money”: “Hefty pay

packets, posh lifestyle, foreign projects, stylish flat, swanky cars….

Such goodies no longer attract these software geeks. What has caught

their attention is the mounting agrarian crisis in the state. AID

Bangalore chapter is mainly a volunteer movement in solidarity with

non-violent people’s struggles.”
