After Uttarkashi, Another Cloudburst Hits Chamoli. Hundreds Feared Trapped Under Debris
Project
On August 22, 2025, a devastating cloudburst tore through Tharali in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand. In minutes, torrents of water, mud, and debris swept across the town, burying homes, shops, and vehicles under rubble. Families fled in panic as the flood engulfed the marketplace and residential areas. At least one woman has lost her life, and one man is missing after being swept away. In Sagwara village, a young woman remains trapped under debris as desperate rescue efforts continue.
“We were asleep when the roar came. In moments, our houses were under water and stone. We barely escaped,” recalls a survivor from Tharali. Roads are blocked, bridges damaged, and entire stretches of the valley cut off. NDRF, SDRF, and local teams are working tirelessly, but continuous rainfall and heavy debris are making operations extremely difficult. The IMD has issued an orange alert, warning of more intense rain in Chamoli and surrounding districts.
Our Relief Work in Uttarkashi

Distributed over 1,000 fresh meal packets to stranded survivors
Provided shelter kits with tarpaulins and blankets in temporary camps
Delivered safe drinking water and hygiene supplies in cut-off villages

This impact was possible only because of your generosity. Today, Chamoli needs us the same way Uttarkashi did.

FAQs
After you complete your donation successfully, you will find the 'GET 80G' button on the payment success page. Please fill in your PAN number, complete address, and name as per PAN and submit. Your 80G certificate will be generated and sent via email within 24 hours.
Alternatively, you can get your 80G receipt in a few simple steps:
- Log in to your account using the same email ID you used for the donation
- Go to ‘My Donations’
- Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
- Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’
- Fill out the Form (if required)
- Submit the form and 80G will get downloaded instantly
Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.
To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.
For example: if you made donations between April 2023 and March 2024 (FY 2023-24), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2024, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.
Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2022 and March 2023 (FY 2022-23) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2023.
