The drought situation in Marathwada is extremely critical; the farmer's communities in eight districts of Marathwada are battling acute water shortage, crop failure, sustaining cattle and suicides. Farmers have to sell their lands for money to feed their families. Farmers Children's have to bear the brunt of it. They have to stop going to school /colleges or they have to leave their education halfway due to financial problems.

As a Corporate Social Responsibility, Progility Technologies Pvt. Ltd.has decided to support drought affected farmers' children who are pursuing education by paying their hostel and mess fees from January 2016 to December 2016.
