New Delhi, Aug 23 (IANS) Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar on Thursday pledged to donate a month's salary towards the relief efforts in flood-ravaged Kerala and urged ministry and university employees also to contribute at least a day's salary.
"There has been unprecedented devastation in Kerala due to floods. I have donated one month's salary to PM's National Relief Fund.
