We have raised $252,000 but we still need $748,000 and your help to reach our goal!
All of you remember the so called Non commissioned essentials (Army term) who made our life possible at Kgp. The mess workers, the ward boys, the rickshaw wallahs, etc. Since most of them were migrant workers, with the present lockdown they have no where to go and do not receive government benefits. We at the Foundation, listening to the request from the IIT Director, have decided to try and help them overcome this problem. This money will give each family Rs 1000 per month for food and Rs 200 per month for soap, etc. As you can see this is a very small amount but it will give them some major relief. The present amount assumes we need to support them for the next 6 months. Please do open your hearts and help in this.
Stay safe and stay healthy,

IITKGP Staff needs your help.
IITKGP now has over 10,000 students. Besides the teaching staff and administrative staff who are on salary, IITKGP is supported by more than 10,000 other staff who get no salary or receive little benefits during the Corona Virus lockdown.
These are the people who have served us for generations such as mess workers, ward boys, gardeners, rickshaw pullers, vegetable sellers, dhobis, and a whole bunch of other staff who have little protection.
With the lockdown, these people are without an income now. We are raising $1 million to support the staff and villagers nearby for the next six months.
Our trustees have already committed over $100,000. We need your help to donate generously to this worthy cause. These people need help and they need it now. We, the IITKGP Foundation, will be sending the money to IIT KGP every week. They have formed a committee of esteemed professors to help these people in need.
Thank you to our donors that have already generously donated to this fund!
