Western Union to light up villages this Diwali

In addition to which, it will donate an amount per remittance made to India during the festive period: from 15 October to 30 November 2015.
 
The initiative is part of a global effort themed 'The Chain of Betters' from Western Union.
 
Communicating the effort in India is an online film, which tells the story of Manoj Pandey, who returns home after 10 years to his village, to witness something special: his village getting electricity.
