Veer campaign, an initiative to raise funds to create employment for 1,000 people with disabilities, seems to be quite close to its target – the two-month drive has already collected Rs.50 lakh.

The campaign, a joint initiative by Thumps Up, Salman Khan’s Being Human, The American India Foundation, and CNN-IBN, launched Jan 24 with a target to raise at least Rs.75 lakhs.
