Dear fellow ARR fans. It gives me great pleasure to announce that the total funds collected amounted to Rs. 160173. This has far exceeded my personal expectations as it has some others I spoke to.
I am extremely glad at the overwhelming response and thank each one of you for standing up to be counted when it mattered. Group, please take a bow. We deserve it. I have no doubt in my mind that we could have achieved far higher numbers had we rolled this out a few days earlier. However, any bit of a good thing is welcome.
