Over 173 Dead, Thousands Stranded. Stand With The Victims of Himachal Floods
Project
This monsoon, Himachal Pradesh is facing one of its worst natural disasters in decades. Relentless rainfall has unleashed landslides, flash floods, and the collapse of bridges and roads. Entire villages are cut off. Families are stranded in isolated valleys, unsure when help will reach them.
Official reports confirm that over 173 people have lost their lives. Ninety-five to deadly landslides, flash floods, and collapsing homes, and seventy-eight to road accidents caused by treacherous conditions. But beyond these numbers are stories of unimaginable loss.
In Kullu, a mother who lost her home says quietly, “My children ask when we will go home. I have no answer. There is no home left.”
More than 383 roads, including vital lifelines like NH305, NH505, NH21, and NH03, are blocked. Markets have vanished under mud. Schools are closed. Many villages in Chamba, Kullu, Mandi, and Una remain completely isolated.
Power transformers and water supply schemes are damaged. “We have no light, no water, and no roof. Only hope that someone will help,” says a villager from Una, standing where his home once stood.
Mahesh, a resident of Banjar, remembers the moment disaster struck: “We were asleep when the water hit. We had to pick up whatever we could and leave immediately.” His family now sleeps on the floor of a local school, along with dozens of others.
Our NGO partners are working tirelessly, clearing debris, reopening roads, and reaching stranded families. Volunteers are delivering hot meals, tarpaulins, blankets, solar lamps, hygiene kits, and medical supplies to those in desperate need. But with more heavy rain in the forecast, the danger is far from over.
In some areas, help has yet to arrive. Villages remain cut off for days. Families are surviving on whatever little food they can save. “The rain hasn’t stopped. I just want my family to be safe,” says a father from Chamba, looking at the broken bridge that once connected his village to the outside world.
The road to recovery will be long. Homes will need to be rebuilt. Livelihoods restored. But right now, the priority is survival.
Stand with Himachal. Stand with its people. Your support today can bring hope where there is none.

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.
