Reliance Industries has donated Rs 25 crore to Uttarakhand to help the Himalayan state with its flood-relief efforts. Reliance Director Anant Ambani made the donation on behalf of the company to the Mukhya Mantri Rahat Kosh, or the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
Rain-related disasters have claimed the lives of 111 people and affected 45,650 families in Uttarakhand this year.
“We hope this initiative will further the state government’s effort to take up various development programmes for the people of Uttarakhand,” Anant Ambani said in a letter to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who thanked the Reliance Director on behalf of the people of the hill state.
“We at Reliance are fortunate to have been a partner to the state over 10 years through various education and social development initiatives,” Ambani wrote in the letter.
In October 2020, Anant Ambani donated Rs 5 crore to the Chardham Devasthanam Board to help it cope with the losses caused by the Covid-19 lockdown. A further Rs 5 crore was donated in 2021 by the Reliance Foundation to the state’s disaster management authority for Covid-19 relief efforts.
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani donated Rs 2.5 crore each last year to the temple committees of Badrinath and Kedarnath.
