The Corona pandemic is melting economies and the worst hit are the daily wage workers. They live on a hand to mouth basis and now with complete country lockdown they are struggling to even survive. However, there still are few noble souls who believe in self acts and support the needy.
Mr. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google recently donated 5crore to a non-profit organisation Give India. The organisation provides cash assistance to daily wage workers across the country. Google also donated the same amount to Give India in the form of a grant.
Thank you @sundarpichai for matching @Googleorg 's ₹5 crore grant to provide desperately needed cash assistance for vulnerable daily wage worker families. Please join our #COVID19 campaign: https://t.co/T9bDf1MXiv @atulsatija
