Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has pledged a donation of INR 3.3 crore to support Goonj’s Rahat Initiative, aimed at providing relief to flood‑affected communities in Assam.
Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange, announced a contribution of INR 3.3 crore to Goonj’s Rahat Initiative, a humanitarian program focused on flood relief in Assam. The donation is intended to bolster the organization’s ongoing distribution of essential supplies such as food, clean water, and shelter kits to families displaced by the recent floods.
Goonj’s Rahat Initiative, which operates across the flood‑prone districts of Assam, coordinates with local authorities and community volunteers to deliver relief items swiftly. The scheme has been active since the monsoon season began, targeting the most vulnerable households in remote villages.
The Assam floods have affected thousands, submerging low‑lying areas and disrupting livelihoods. Corporate assistance like Binance’s pledge is seen as a critical supplement to government relief efforts, helping to bridge funding gaps and accelerate on‑ground response.
Binance has previously engaged in corporate social responsibility projects in India, focusing on disaster relief and digital inclusion. This latest contribution underscores the exchange’s growing involvement in humanitarian causes beyond its core financial services.
