Bill Gates is on a silent tour of India and from the news doing rounds it’s for his humanitarian purposes as part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
According to news, Bill Gates pans to adopt a village in Bihar and will look into improving the socio-economic conditions of the people there. The population of the village is considered to be poorer than Dalits (who’re considered to be the lowest in the socio-economic strata)
The village is Gularia in Khagaria:
Bill Gates is also scheduled to visit Amethi with Rahul Gandhi, member of parliament and son of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Bill Gates as also pledged support of up to 250 crores for health programmes to Uttar Pradesh.
To put a bit of politics into perspective: Amethi is in Uttar Pradesh whose Chief Minister is Mayawati (her party is BSP) and Rahul Gandhi is battling her to get Congress the top post.
