Kartik Aaryan is stepping up to help flood-hit Assam as he is donating ₹1 crore to the relief and rehabilitation efforts.
He has received widespread thanks as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly thanked him for giving him a hand.
Assam is experiencing severe floods caused by monsoon rains and thousands of families in a number of districts are bearing the brunt of the floods. Floodwater has inundated homes, damaged roads as well as bridges, disrupted transport and forced many residents into relief camps.
Rescue teams, disaster response personnel and local authorities have been working hard to provide food, shelter and medical assistance to those affected.
Kartik Aaryan’s generous donation will help in this difficult moment to the state’s relief efforts. Rehabilitation efforts, emergency supplies and support for families struggling to rebuild their lives after the devastating floods will be funded by the money received from Kartik Aaryan.
Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Assam, said he appreciated the actor's contribution on social media and expressed his sympathy and generosity.
“The support from public figures” by the Chief Minister inspires others to give to humanitarian causes and helps in the relief of people in disasters,” he said.
Kartik Aaryan has become not only one of Bollywood’s most inspiring young actors but also a supporter of social causes. He has been involved in a variety of awareness projects and charitable projects over the years and has earned his fans' admiration far beyond his film career.
The actor’s donation was widely appreciated on social media and supporters as well as celebrity and public figures have praised him for the kind gesture.
Many users wrote that giving from well-known personalities helps galvanize national awareness for continuing disaster relief efforts and inspire more people and organizations to help.
Assam suffers annual flooding and river overflowing due to heavy rainfall and overflowing rivers each year and the Brahmaputra and its tributaries. Although floods are a recurring problem, extreme weather events have contributed to the increase in the damage of agriculture, infrastructure, wildlife, and livelihoods over the last couple of decades.
Government agencies, the armed forces, and volunteer organizations continue to rescue and provide the essential relief materials to the people affected.
Donations from individuals, businesses and celebrities are also contributing to this process in order to get relief to them faster and to help them recover.
Kartik Aaryan's contribution serves as a reminder that collective action is critical in times of crisis. His donation is an example of the growing involvement of celebrities in humanitarian causes and shows how influential public figures can lead to meaningful change.
When Assam has to recover from the floods, it's a huge challenge to have the support from all parts of the country and we need that.
And generosity, such as Kartik Aaryan's, is the very best way of rebuilding families after the disaster that we saw and feeling the pain of the floods.
