Urgent: Help Darjeeling Rebuild After Deadly Landslides and Floods
Project
At least 28 people, including children, have lost their lives in the devastating landslides and floods that struck the Queen of Hills, Darjeeling. Many more remain missing as heavy rains continue to batter the region.
Entire villages have been buried under mud, rivers have overflowed, and thousands of families have been forced to flee overnight.
“We ran out in the middle of the night with just the clothes we were wearing. Within minutes, the water and mud swallowed our home,” says Maya, a mother of two from Darjeeling.
The Current Situation
Over 28 confirmed deaths and hundreds still missing.
Homes and roads destroyed by continuous landslides.
Entire communities cut off due to collapsed bridges and blocked highways.
Families stranded without food, water, or shelter.
Relief camps are overcrowded, clean water is scarce, and communication lines are down. Many are surviving on minimal aid while rescue teams struggle to reach remote areas.
“My children keep asking when we can go back home. But there’s no home left, only debris,” says Ramesh, a resident from Kalimpong.
Tea plantation workers and small farmers are among the worst affected. Landslides have destroyed farms, cattle sheds, and crops like maize, cardamom, and vegetables.
“Our small tea patch was our only income. Now it’s gone under the landslide,” says Karma, a farmer from the outskirts of Darjeeling.
Without crops, livestock, or steady income, families have no way to rebuild their lives or repay debts.
What Your Support Can Do
Your help can bring urgent relief to those who’ve lost everything. Families urgently need:
Nutritious meals for children and the displaced
Temporary shelter kits with tarpaulins, blankets, and mats
Clean drinking water and hygiene essentials to prevent disease
Emergency medicines and medical care for the injured
Animal feed and rescue support for stranded livestock
Behind every collapsed house is a family waiting for hope. Behind every broken road is a community cut off from the world.
Your support can help them survive this disaster and start rebuilding their lives.
Stand with Darjeeling today. Your contribution matters.

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.
