To permit you to repay one of the vital large debt that the country owes to the families of its martyrs and disabled soldiers, six competing crowdfunding platforms within the nation will come in combination all over this yr's Daan Utsav Week (October 2 to 8). From sending customized postcard messages acknowledging the warriors' sacrifice to gifting portraits of martyrs to families of slain army men, those platforms will invite you to sponsor distinctive, personal gestures to show that the sacrifice of the men in uniform won't be forgotten.
As part of this marketing campaign referred to as 'Honour Our Heroes', each and every of the six collaborating crowd-funding platforms-based in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore — have chosen a nonprofit. BitGiving, as an example, might be elevating price range for the Flags of Honour foundation, which was introduced through Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrasekhar to serve and support families of the martyrs of the army , paramilitary and the police forces of India. Ac tor Nandita Das and musician Luke Kenny might be championing this BitGiving marketing campaign whose price range might be used to strengthen ability development and livelihood alternatives for martyrs' better halves.
"What I really love about Daan Utsav is how it creates inclusive events where even competitors find ways to collaborate," says Das, including that it is a movement. "This time so many different crowdfunding platforms are coming together for a cause. Many organisations, colleges, companies, individuals are doing their bit," provides Das. Kunal Kapoor, who heads the crowdfunding platform Ketto and who might be riding its initiative to raise price range for the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre in Pune, can't agree more.
"Daan Utsav is not only a festiv al but a feeling of being responsib le towards each other and we are happy to be a part of it," says Kapoor.
Taking a cue from actor Akshay Kumar's fresh initiative along side the Ministry Of Home Affairs to lend a hand the relatives of slain soldiers, Piyush Jain of Impact Guru says his platform too needs to do their bit. "We wanted to do something for the soldiers who are alive," says Jain, whose platform is operating with Queen Mary's Technical Institute For Differently Abled Soldiers to raise price range for its 'Hrunn--Ab Hamari Jimmedari' marketing campaign. "Hrunn means debt," says Jain, who believes the nation owes so much to its soldiers. For this marketing campaign, Impact Guru's social media partner can be Paperless Postcards. "We will ask people to donate a certain amount and mention a message they want to give to soldiers. Paperless Postcards will then create these postcards and send to soldiers," says Jain, who goals to raise no less than Rs 25 lakh for the Hrunn.
The debt is not just financial. DonateKart will launch a crowd-funding marketing campaign inviting folks to sponsor customized paintings of the martyrs to be despatched to the warriors' families via Honour Point, an online memorial for Indian soldiers featuring 15,000 martyrs on its database."While working with them, we realised that while families of martyrs were getting financial support, the emotional connect was missing," says Anil Kumar, co-founder, DonateKart, whose platform has enlisted a Nagpur-based artist to create the portraits for the marketing campaign.
