Cinema VinesPunjabi singer‑songwriter Guru Randhawa has donated ₹5 lakhs from his own savings to help communities devastated by floods in Upper Assam. The funds were transferred through digital creator Dimpu Baruah, who is coordinating on‑ground relief operations in some of the state’s hardest‑hit districts.
The gesture comes amid ongoing recovery efforts after the August floods that have claimed 82 lives and left around 178,000 people affected across seven districts, according to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority. Randhawa urged people nationwide to “support the recovery,” saying the devastation is heartbreaking and that the nation must not let its brothers and sisters face the crisis alone.
Randhawa’s contribution will be channeled through the Hello Life Foundation, headed by Baruah. The organisation has already raised more than ₹16.64 lakhs from public donations and plans to visit flood‑affected areas in mid‑August to distribute cash assistance, food, clothing, medical supplies and other essentials directly to families.
He has a track record of humanitarian work, having set up relief camps during the 2025 Punjab floods, provided cattle feed, financed home reconstruction and distributed wheat seeds to affected farmers. Earlier, during the COVID‑19 pandemic, he donated ₹20 lakhs from his savings to the PM‑CARES Fund and has supported student education and youth welfare initiatives.
Randhawa’s donation is part of a larger national effort, with other public figures such as Kartik Aaryan, Aamir Khan, Ananya Birla, Ayushmann Khurrana, Randeep Hooda, CarryMinati, Gautam Adani, Sajjan Jindal, Badruddin Ajmal, Triggered Insaan and Aaryan Kelvin also contributing money and supplies to aid Assam’s recovery.
